I vaguely remember similar problems when updating CUPS lately. After
the update I had to install another package[*] to get printing working
again. In addition to your list I have cups-image installed, maybe that
helps.

[*]  I can't remember details which package I had to install, I do
     remember wondering if port dependencies or an UPDATING entry was
     missing.
