Yes, that was all it was. This isn't intuitive, though. If you can't use hplip to set up your printer without installing hplip-gui, then shouldn't that be linked as a dependency (even though it's sort of the other way around ;-) )?
The reason for the missing dependency is that it would pull in all of qt and pyqt which gnome-fanboys aren't very happy about (not to offend any of them - we aren't very happy about having to depend on gtk in our default spin either).
But doesn't that mean that hplip is useless? If you can't set up your printer, it is. I'm not being aggressive, just practical. Happy or not, if you have an HP device that needs hplip, you have to be able to use hp-setup. It's not as though there is a -tui version.
