It's since improved.  Probably thanks to hplip-minimal, whilst the 
newer Samsung SpliX package adds a mere 0.2 MiB:

 λ guix size cups | tail -n 1
 total: 279.5 MiB
 λ guix size cups-filters escpr hplip-minimal foomatic-filters 
 splix | tail -n 1
 total: 405.4 MiB (+45%)

‘Lots’ is way overblown.  This is it:

+/gnu/store/amahw2r0b7fjqphisv8c0f6w77qac3c0-hplip-minimal-3.20.9
+/gnu/store/jqqf3xzs4sjdvnvddpk3pgx8g2rn9db3-foomatic-filters-4.0.17

+/gnu/store/8zvc5mvk0xm3ygrxsgpyy5ilxb5rzjry-perl-5.30.2

With the last 2 (3?) almost certainly already installed, this is 
not unreasonable for ‘cups-service-type actually prints, even if 
you visit grandma’.

Visit grandma,
