Description T6n9naYMKJ 2012-05-20 08:41:55 UTC

hplip ebuild changed from warning:
--
	if ! use hpcups && ! use hpijs ; then
		ewarn "Installing neither hpcups (USE=-hpcups) nor hpijs (USE=-hpijs) driver,"
		ewarn "which is probably not what you want."
		ewarn "You will almost certainly not be able to print."
		ewarn "Recommended USE flags: USE=\"hpcups -hpijs\")."
	fi
--

to strict requirement:
--
REQUIRED_USE="|| ( hpijs hpcups )"
--

I just need the scanner and don't care about the printer in the same casing.

Looks like another case of REQUIRED_USE over-use:

http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/use-flags/index.html#conflicting-use-flags

"... should alert the user that a particular flag is being used instead"

So what was in before was correct, and was broken by addition of REQUIRED_USE
