No but if you want to print using cups, I expect you to read at least the cups
README:

$ grep -i gtk /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/cups
To be able to use CUPS printers from GTK+ applications, the gtk+2-cups,
gtk+3-cups and/or gtk+4-cups package need to be installed.

"The economy of ~150K" ; you're only looking at the direct dependencies here.

You just don't want to read docs.
That's fine.
But don't complain.
