Ok, after skimming through Gentoo docs, and reading people's comments on
this thread, I've once again tracked down the culprit.

All I did, so that CUPS would show me all the available drivers in the
web interface, is add the following flags to my make.conf:

cups ppds

cups - Add support for CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)

ppds - Adds support for automatically generated ppd (printing driver) files

Re-emerged cups and gimp-print, and now everything works great!

Thanks to all for your help.

P.S. I also added gimp-print ~x86 to my /etc/portage/package.keywords file.
