From

I notice that you use CUPS 1.7.5

Accordingly
http://cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.7/ref-cupsd-conf.html
is the matching documentaion, see "DefaultShared" therein
that reads in particular
"The DefaultShared directive specifies whether printers are
  shared (published) by default. The default is Yes."

But that default is only what it is at cups.org.

For the cupsd in your Linux distribution (gentoo 2.2 64 bit
according to https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/260285)
the default could be different.

Furthermore the default for a "Share This Printer" checkbox
(you didn't tell in what tool that "Share This Printer" checkbox is)
in whatever printer setup tool might be independent of the
DefaultShared directive for your cupsd.


Kind Regards
