Package: printer-driver-postscript-hp Version: 3.18.10+dfsg0-3 Severity: normal
>From the changelog: * debian/control: printer-driver-postscript-hp needs hpps CUPS filter, which is in the hplip package, therefore depend on hplip. However, since 3.17.10+repack0-6 the hpps filter has moved from hplip to printer-driver-postcript-hp. I'd suggest that hplip (and python3 and xz-utils?) could be dropped as a Depends: and made a Suggests:, as it is for the printer-driver-hpcups package. None of the PostScript PPDs have cupsFilter lines depending on anything in hplip. 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.
