An explanation:

  Thanks for your report.  However there are graphical console depends, they are 
  against the hplip-gui package.  These depends are actually the minimum set for 
  hplip.

A solution:

  If you wish to run a headless print server, we now ship the independent 
  packages of hpijs and hplip-cups, which do not require the full hplip depends.
