That will seriously affect Gutenprint if applied strictly.
OTOH, Gutenprint is GPLv2+, so it could be considered GPLv3 for purposes of linking to ASL2.0 CUPS..
Just make sure that Gutenprint doesn't link to any other 3rd party libs that are GPLv2-only - everything it links to would need to be v2-or-later (or otherwise GPLv3 compatible) to allow the combined work to be considered GPLv3
