HPLIP is still essentially a Qt3 application. hp-systray can OPTIONALLY use Qt4... I did this because there is a system tray icon class in Qt4, and my Qt3 system tray code is imperfect (I back ported Trolltech's Qt4 code, and some things didn't translate completely). If a user has trouble getting the Qt3 version of hp-systray to properly go into the system tray, the Qt4 version can be run with a --qt4 parameter (and, there have been users that this has worked for). There is no REQUIREMENT for Qt4 in HPLIP, though.
