Is there any way to install cups without introducing any of the X11

I am trying to set this up on a headless box that doesn't have the
resources available for needlessly running X11.
If you have a resource-limited box, you probably don't want to run CUPS.
What is it you're trying to do. CUPS is only one of a few print spooler
systems available.

It's not a limited box. But I have no need to have my RAM and CPU
invested in running X when it will never be used.
I've tried installing cups over the last two days and it's turning into
a real cluster of a mess. I think somewhere I was even able to convince
aptitude that it didn't really need to install dependencies - I was
messing around with apt.conf for a while. After restoring apt.conf it
was still giving me grief.
The last problem I had was that I could identify a printer, but when I
selected the PPD file to add the printer, everything would just hang
with no mention of errors or issues in debug mode.
