Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "net-print/hplip" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-print/hplip-0.9.4 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or

- net-print/hplip-0.9.4 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- net-print/hplip-0.9.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

means that the package is only keyworded for ~x86 and not x86, to what your
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is set to. package.unmask is used for unmasking packages that
are masked by package.mask, use package.keywords instead to accept an ~x86 for
this package.
