Just "for cups" is enough.

I noticed that in your initial patch, too. Do we link against cups now? Did that change?
TTBOMK it's only dlopen()'ed so it's not needed for the build -> configure doesn't need
to check for it since it's for *build* requirements. Whether it's needed at runtime for
CUPS support to work is out of ./configures businness.

Unlike this, which *is* needed in the build, so we also could just AC_ERROR out here directly
in the not-found case, Saves us the if.
