None of the print dialogues I've seen displayed for Evolution under Gnome give you the option of providing a command line for printing.
I remember such a print dialog, vaguely, from *ages* ago when you'd have to enter things like "lpr -Pmyprinter". I thought those type of dialog predated CUPS as there was no reliable way to enumerate printers. I think the issue is "compiled out of the sources"; but compiled on what stack and with what options? My advice is *DO NOT DO THAT*. Compiling a modern DE and applications is very non-trivial and not something that can be accomplished *successfully* off-the-cuff. Perhaps you built the GNOME libraries without CUPS support? So that's a mistake about three or four layers down from Evolution [libgnomeprint?]
