What about the cups server?

Hmmm, you're right. I really did think that cups was a dummy, and that the daemon was in a separate package. Mea culpa.

If you install xpdf-utils before hand, I don't think too many X11 packages will be pulled it.

Is there any way to install cups without introducing any of the X11 libraries?
I am trying to set this up on a headless box that doesn't have the resources available for needlessly running X11.

The package cups is a "dummy" that simply depends on a kitchen sink full of packages.

For a non-GUI system, install:
libcups2 libcupsimage2 cups-common cups-client

and probably:
cups-bsd cups-driver-gutenprint
