[Comment 1 Dan Ost 2007-03-14 16:29:15 UTC]

Why does hplip require cups in the first place?
Is there some reason I can't use hplip with lprng?

[Comment 2 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2007-03-14 16:36:41 UTC]

thanks, this bug is fixed in newer versions.

No idea why it is needed, you need to ask upstream that :)
