I had similar problems until I removed lpr from the base. To do this, I
added this to /etc/make.conf:
	WITHOUT_LPR=true
	CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
	NO_LPR=yes

and then rebuilt and reinstalled world and cups.

Now I can print from everything - including, impressively, Lotus Notes
R5 running in wine.

You probably only need one of WITHOUT_LPR/NO_LPR, but darned if I know
which. The extra line in make.conf seemed simpler than trawling the
makefiles.
