The change was done in purpose, the printer-applet and deps are not ready for stable yet, therefore the USE flag was masked in the whole 4.4.x series: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/package.use.mask?r1=1.139&r2=1.140 You can still 'emerge --noreplace printer-applet' to prevent it from being uninstalled.
