I have tested this, and CUPS got installed here with GNOME desktop (default install).
The dependency chain turns out to be:
task-gnome-desktop -> gnome-core -> system-config-printer-common -> cups-pk-helper -> libcups2
(BTW: CUPS also gets installed with the other desktops via
gnome-core -> system-config-printer-common -> cups-pk-helper -> libcups2)
So, I cannot reproduce this.
Do you have the installation logs available?
