Well, I hate to keep answering my own posts....
surely one of the more astute admins will jump in?
(and keep me from looking.....foolish?)
So continuing to research this I find some new-2-me flags
on gentoo:

Sooooo, my question is has anyone any knowledge of these flags
and with cups (/etc/cups/ppd/*driver*)
???

This is what I have for use FLAGS:

I have a HP printer too. I went into cups and looked for your printer,
your model is in there. So, if you duplicate my USE flags, you should
be able to find your printer in that LOOOOONG list of printers.
I think ppds and hpcups is the key ones. I would at least start with
those.
Hope that helps.
