You need to create an encryption certificate.  It sounds like Gentoo
is using OpenSSL instead of GNU TLS, so you'll need to run:

    openssl req -new -x509 -keyout /etc/cups/ssl/server.key \
         -out /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt -days 365 -nodes

to create a self-signed SSL encryption key and certificate.
