FTR, python3 and xz-utils are needed because /usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp is a pyppd-compressed script. It's a self- expanding python script. > For the two packages to be in line with each other I imagine both would > have to have dependencies on cups/cups-filters etc. It would be nice to > be able to install any HP printer without having to install hplip. Hrm. All that dependency chain is a mess. I'm not sure _adding_ a dependency on cups makes any sense, unless filters from CUPS are actually needed. I'll start with demoting printer-driver-postscript-hp's Depends on hplip to a Suggests, as that's a net improvement. :-) Cheers, OdyX
