I just noticed hplip on Linux installed hpijs as a dependency, so maybe
we should update ours (sidux's hpijs also is at 3.9.4b-1) and do the same
instead of having hplip install its own copy? (--enable-hpijs-install)
Here is the full list of dependencies installed: (and suggested/recommended)
root@sidux:/home/sidux# apt-get install hplip hplip-ppds hplip-gui python-gobject
