Yes, it DOES need to be installed by default. My HP PSC 1610 was not automatically detected by HPLIP because this was not automatically installed. And it's also not just a Kubuntu thing. I'm using Ubuntu. Pascal, CUPS may have been able to figure out my printer, but HPLIP is another thing entirely. HPLIP couldn't do it without this package, and this package should be in there by default so that HPLIP works correctly instead of suggesting laserjet PPDs for an inkjet.
