The problem is that CUPS (>=1.1.15) and Ghostscript have a circular 
dependency.

Do 'emerge cups' which should suck in EPS Ghostscript.  When all of that is 
done 'emerge unmerge cups' then 'emerge cups' AGAIN.  You MUST have CUPS 
1.1.5 or later and EPS Ghostscript 7.05.x or later, which is what 'emerge 
rsync' should get you.  You can not mix and match with out other 
complications.  A bug report has been filed.

What that mess does is gets CUPS to build agenst the new Ghostscript 
libraries.

This is a problem with non-postscript raster based printers like yours and 
mine (HP710) and some Epsons.

Not sure if that is HPIJS or HPOJ, but the problem is in the CUPS/Ghostscript 
build order not the HP related drivers.
