[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#484801: hplip: automatically got a systray app which I don't need

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: hplip
Severity: normal

After upgrading some packages, I suddenly got a HP systray icon on my
GNOME panel, while I don't even have an HP printer connected.

I tried to remove the package (hplip contains it), but that means
removing all kinds of other useful packages like printconf. (See also
below to see which dependencies I had to break...)

Please fix this, there is something wrong in package structure and/or
dependencies. I don't want to automatically get a useless systray app.

Thanks
