It's worked just fine since around F-14 without any issue. The only
hard dependency has been cups-libs because that's what everything
links against ans cups-pk-helper which is suppose to automatically
pull in appropriate drivers when a print is plugged in/detected.
That's why the vast majority of the printer drivers are excluded in
the live image because PackageKit is suppose to pull them in if needed
and they take up a lot of space.
