For some reason, the sun-jre looks to this socket when trying to print. A cursory examination of the calls made by the jre seems to show that it is trying to set invalid option to on the socket. This causes java printing to fail with a "No Print Service Found" error message. Possible Workaround: Commenting out the line which creates this socket in the cupsd.conf file seems to solve this issue for me. # Only listen for connections from the local machine. Listen localhost:631 #Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock From what I've seen, sun has had an open bug on this or a similar problem for quite sometime without any significant progress.

why do you not have that in your config file? It is in my default config file. Can you please post "emerge -vp cups"?

worksforme, thanks for reporting. Cannot fix anything here though
Sun being closed source there is nothing we can do to fix their sources. We can just file bug reports to them and wait them to fix it.
