I don't think so,
assuming that by "quietly" you mean "without telling the user".
I don't see why it should not simply say something like
"CUPS does not appear to be running",
perhaps with a button to "Start CUPS now".

I don't like programs that take steps like this
without telling me.
I'm currently trying to find who or what is modifying
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* on my laptop.
(I've just started running pyinotify to this end.)
