Are you referring to /usr/share/applications/system-config-printer.desktop ?

In that case, it's looking for /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/devices/printer.png icon that is being properly provided by x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-3.0.0

I'm referring to /usr/share/applications/cups.desktop

[Comment 3 Jani Kananen 2011-06-04 19:56:26 UTC]

OK, seems like =net-print/cups-1.4.6-r1 provides the cups.desktop file and the icon files provided by cups package are:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/cups.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/cups.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/cups.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/cups.png

But Gnome is not picking the icons. Maybe because it's missing 48x48 icon file?

I can see the icon properly :-/, have you tried to add it to the panel and see if icon is shown there?

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2011-06-04 20:01:54 UTC]

Also show gnome-panel version and try with 2.32.1-r2

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2011-06-05 09:28:10 UTC]

Also note that I am using net-print/cups-1.3.11-r4, maybe it's a cups-1.4.6-r1 problem

Strangest thing, I emerged libreoffice and after that the cups icon popped out of nowhere. Now it is showing the cups icon normally. I had logged out, rebooted and re-emerged cups and nothing but after emerging libreoffice the icon appeared. Also on a sidenote it didn't show the libreoffice icons until I had logged out. Well the cups is now showing atleast. :)

cups ebuild needs to call 
gnome2_icon_savelist
gnome2_icon_cache_update

and co (they can see opera ebuilds to see how to call them)
