Unfortunately not. I use bsd lpd and not cups.

evince is linked to 
libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgnomeprintui-2-2.so.0
(0x286e2000)
libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libgnomeprint-2-2.so.0
(0x28717000)

libgnomeprint was build without cups support. 

evince shows me:
Configure summary:
        Print Support......:  gtk
        DBUS Support.......:  yes
        Nautilus Plugin....:  yes

        PostScript Backend.:  yes
        TIFF Backend.......:  yes
        DJVU Backend.......:  no
        DVI Backend........:  no
        Pixbuf Backend.....:  no
        Comics Backend.....:  no
        Impress Backend....:  no

I guess this is not a evince problem. I can't print with epiphany too.
In both apps i just can choose "print to file". 
Printing works fine with evo, firefox and openoffice. I have no clue how
printing works in gnome. There is this magic cups I don't use. lpd
worked fine in the past and it still works with most applications.

Is cups mandatory for gnome?
