I cannot reproduce.  I have switched one of my test machines to CUPS,
rebuilt gtk20 and libgnomeprint with CUPS support, and I can print to
remote CUPS printers (off of a MacOS X server) just fine.  I do get the
same errors and warnings on the command line, but I do not get any
application lockups or crashes.  The resulting printout looks just like
Print Preview said it would.

Try rebuilding libgnomeprint and gtk20 will WITH_CUPS="yes"
in /etc/make.conf, and see if it helps.
