Devuan has an alternative policykit-1 that does not depend on systemd, and
hplip will install without pulling in any systemd components.
apt-cache policy policykit-1
policykit-1:
Installed: 0.105-9+devuan1
Candidate: 0.105-9+devuan1
aptitude -s install hplip
The following NEW packages will be installed:
hplip hplip-data{a} libhpmud0{a} libsane-hpaio{a} libsnmp-base{a}
libsnmp30{a} libwebpdemux1{a} libwebpmux1{a}
printer-driver-hpcups{a} python-imaging{a} python-pexpect{a}
python-pil{a} python-reportlab{a}
python-reportlab-accel{a}
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
avahi-daemon printer-driver-postscript-hp python-renderpm sane-utils
-fsmithred
