What are the permissions on the file? In another post you've stated that you have 2 other machines which are not showing the same problem - compare with them.

Good point, but updatedb is run after every update, so daily or
thereabouts.  I can execute foomatic-rip (but only with the full path -
there is no separate command, which makes sense since it is not located
in a /bin dir, I suppose).  No errors on any of the three installs.
(Note it is not really completing its job on the subject machine, as
without the foo2zjs driver and accompanying firmware, I can't print.
But it is responding with appropriate questions about whether my printer
is configured or not.)  The permission for foomatic-rip is -rwxr-xr-x 1
root root, so shouldn't be a problem - user is in the lp group anyway.

And you're correct, comparing the three is what I've been trying to do.
 I've re-build a few packages to make sure all cups- and
foomatic-related packages have the same USE flags.  Also have run all
clean-up scripts, like perl-cleaner, python-updater, revdep-rebuild, etc.

foo2zjs (either from source or the gentoo package) still refuses to make
install.  I guess I'll keep playing.  Thanks for your help.
