I have a recent bullseye installation that has only the base system. Therefore, I can be confident that 'apt install task-xxxxx-desktop will show all the packages to be installed. Only kde and cinnamon install the cups package. libcups2 has shared libraries. For a working printing system it is essential to have the scheduler, cupsd, available, This is in the cups-daemon package and would be installed when cups is pulled in. Regards, Brian.
