It doesn't.  It only depends on the client library (libcupsys2).
It needs libcupsys2 because it was compiled with CUPS support so that
samba can automatically determine all the available printers from the
CUPS infrastructure.  (that doesn't mean you need to run cups, or even
if you use cups the 'cupsd' server could be on a different machine)
