Cups is 'Recommended' for libreoffice.  See the 'Notes on Building Software' page 
(Look for 'Dependencies') for a full definition of recommended, but a part of it says 
  'if a recommended dependency is not installed, the built package may lack some 
important functionalities.'  We cannot realistically cover all the different 
combinations so we leave it up to the users to troubleshoot and fix issues when 
deviating from the book.  We do consider omitting a recommended dependency as 
deviating, but let the user know that they can be omitted if they accept the 
potential limitations.
