How do I get cups to work on gentoo?

Here's what I've done

 per instructions on the cups site
 	1) setup /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (755)
	2) setup /usr/local/bin/foomatic-gswrapper (755)
	3) added the appropriate Canon-BJC-610.....ppd file
	3) /etc/rc.d/init.d/cupsd start
	4) lpadmin (fails with client error)
	5) http://localhost:631/admin
		brings up login screen (used root)
		did add printer dialog, prompts for  parport, Canon and the .ppd file I
added
		says added lp0
		but manage printers says no printers!
	6) cat xyz | lpr -Plp0 puts a file in /var/sppol/cups but no printing

Any clues about what I've missed?

TIA
