Bug Description
python-dbus (thus dbus) is not listed a compile time option or hard dependency.
However some scripts other than fax support might depend on it.
http://
python-dbus is listed here as "optional" for fax --> http://
I get an error when running hp-check -t that I am missing dbus.
I think hplip works as expected without dbus, and dbus is not generally necessary on headless servers.
Should there be a configure option for dbus?
Thanks for all your hard work!
Here is the output from hplip with no dbus:

Hi Turtle,
python-dbus is compile and run time dependency for fax. If python-dbus package is missing, fax feature may not be working as expected and may not get the notifications.
Where as other features (i.e. Print, Scan) will work fine even without python-dbus package.
Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath
