Description Ludwig Nussel 2005-08-09 07:26:09 UTC

hplip is in the default selection. It is the only package in that selection 
which requires kdebindings3-python. Together both packages are ~50MB. Since 
hplip is only useful together with certain hardware it should be removed from 
the selection and installed by YaST when needed.

- PRINTER-CUPS: hp-officeJet --> hplip/hplip-hpijs

Comment 2 Johannes Meixner 2005-08-09 08:15:16 UTC

It must be in the default selection because it is needed for
most HP printers and for all HP all-in-one devices
and there are many other tools to set up a printer
(KDE setup tool, Gnome setup tool, CUPS web-frontend, ...)
We cannot assume YaST is the only tool to set up hardware.

I think since all normal users have several GB of disk space
there is no longer a need to care very much about disk space.

There are various minimal systems when a user must care about
disk space.
