I must admit I'm with Christopher on this one, if the package is installed 
it's icon should be included in the menu.  Asking a user of a GUI to edit a 
txt file before they see the icons sounds like crazyness..

That said the .desktop files have actually been moved into a hplip-gui 
package, so if you want the icons you can install the hplip-gui package and 
if you don't want the icons then you can just install the hplip package.

So Christopher, installing hplip-gui may solve your icon issue.

Joss, if hplip is deemed worthy of the default installation, then why wouldn't 
a user want the icons shown?
