xfprint requires cups, but AFAIK xfprint works with lpr as well. Actually, to install xfprint, one needs no printing frontend at all. Of course, cups would be useful for printing :-), but I don't consider it a requirement for xfprint.
This task depends upon

Either we split up the xfprint package, as we did with libgnomeprint-cups, or we place cups as makedepends, as the xfprint program should be able to print without having cups installed. These things are just plugins, and if you don't have cups installed on your system, you don't consider printing with cups at all.

In early 4.2.x series, xfprint would refuse to start with cups support enabled during build-time and without cups not installed.
I tried it with 4.2.2, and it appears that it is now possible to have cups as a makedepend only.
