Ok, after skimming through Gentoo docs, and reading people's comments on
this thread, I've once again tracked down the culprit.
All I did, so that CUPS would show me all the available drivers in the
web interface, is add the following flags to my make.conf:
cups ppds
cups - Add support for CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)
ppds - Adds support for automatically generated ppd (printing driver) files
Re-emerged cups and gimp-print, and now everything works great!
Thanks to all for your help.
P.S. I also added gimp-print ~x86 to my /etc/portage/package.keywords file.
