General-purpose binary distros fold CUPS in and include support for it in
everything because they want to be a "plug-and-play" experience for people
who know nothing about Linux.  Linux without CUPS, however, is certainly
possible--the Pi3 blinking happily to itself above my desk has never had
CUPS installed, because it doesn't need it in order to fulfill its role.
