when emerging hplip the configure process fails when checking for cups-devel as defined by the USE-Flags it should not check for cups, becaus it is NOT installed output from emerge/configure: [...] checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-install_initd... no checking for install_initd... no checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes checking for CRYPTO_free in -lcrypto... yes checking for snmp_timeout in -lnetsnmp... no checking for ANSI C header files...

this bug also affects hplip-0.9.8-r2 install of hpijs works fine
bug-wranglers@gentoo.org
Indeed so. This affects all versions of hplip in the tree. My proposed solution is to make hplip hard depend on cups. Objections?
If you can find no other way to build it w/o cups that is ok. I would make cups harddep now and if somone comes up with a solution it can still be changed. hplip deps are broken currently and need to be fixed asap.
Done, cups is now a hard dependency. If anyone has a better fix, please make sure to let us know. Thanks for reporting!
