Thank you! I already have a running system, so I had to

setenv WITH_CUPS
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20
make deinstall
make install clean


I do not fully understand why it is done this way. Most users - 
including me - are going to install gnome2 first, and most likely CUPS 
is not installed by that time. It is also true that many users who 
install gnome2 will have a printer and want to use it. So I would 
recommend to create a make option "[X] CUPS support" for gtk20, or at 
least for gnome2. It was quite hard to find information about this issue 
on the internet! Should I post a PR for this? (It is not a real bug but 
I think it causes problems for many users.)

Thanks,

  Laszlo
