We take the path of letting our users read the documentation we provide for
them:
$ grep gtk.*cups /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/gtk+{2,3}
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/gtk+2:Printing to CUPS requires installing the
gtk+2-cups package.
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/gtk+3:Printing to CUPS requires installing the
gtk+3-cups package.
