pacman -Sp <package> prints the specified package URI and only its dependecies which are not currently installed into the system.
I think pacman should print out the specified package URI and its dependencies independently they were installed or not into the system.
This task depends upon

That would break the expectation of many users who use --print-uris for the current intended design.

I will consider another option that prints ALL required uris, installed or otherwise.

OK, I understand it, but then you should change the pacman manpage which says:

-p, --print-uris
Print out URIs for each specified package and its dependencies.

It could confuse some users, like me ;-)
