Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.6.b-4
Severity: wishlist
When I went to upgrade my server today, I found that libsane (and all of
its dependencies) are to be installed because hplip is to be upgraded.
Since the printer connected to this machine is a Deskjet 5740, I don't
need any of the other functionality installed.
I would much prefer that scanning be separated out into its own package,
so that I don't have to drag in over 15 MB of dependencies (and that
many more bugs and potential security holes) onto a machine that will
never use it. However, any solution that removes these dependencies is
acceptable.

Brian, and others,
We have now completely modularised the functionality of hplip, so you should be
able to install the configuration you desire.
hplip provides functionality for scanning/ printing and desktop support
hplip-gui provides the QT4 desktop functionality
hplip-cups is standalone & suitable for a headless print-server
hpijs is decoupled from hplip and again be used as a stand alone gs filter
As a consequence I'm closing your report. Hopefully you are able to navigate
around these packages and it meets your individual use cases.
