>The hplip package will contain the core part (daemons, documentation, ...) > and the command line tools (like hp-setup, ...). This is not easily done. Most of the GUI tools (hp-unload, hp-sendfax and soon hp-setup) have both a GUI and text mode UI in a single command/file. For example, hp-sendfax -u will run the sendfax GUI, while hp-sendfax -n will run a non-interactive session for sending faxes. If you remove the hp-sendfax program from the main hplip package and not install the hplip-gui package, you will loose any ability to send faxes, even from a pure console/text-only environment.
