Regarding HP printer drivers, it seems that they are intentionally excluded from our live install.

I can't find the commit message that explains why those drivers are removed. Does anyone on this list has any idea what the reason was and if it's still relevant?
Probably because they're huge.
At some point in the past, installing hp printing support packages would clutter the menu with hp logos and items. That could also be the reason.

hpijs (which contains most of the useful drivers) is about 8.5MB. Since we are no longer limited to the archaic size of a CD (our Live Desktop image is around 1GB last time I checked) we can probably add hpijs without worrying about media size
Regarding logos and items in the menu, this does not seem to be the case today: those ugly things now reside in hplip-gui.
