Comment 2 for bug 1095783

Hi thanks for your reply.
I can do a grep of the source directory:
 grep 'dbus' hplip-3.13.2/*
and (I think) find examples of dbus being used for more than fax
For example there is code in the source files config_usb_printer.py around line 45 and 90
Gentoo has made dbus a hard dependency
due to a user without dbus having problems configuring a usb printer:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431202#c13

Are those checks and configurations possible without dbus and the user without dbus might have to do some extra configuration thus package maintainers should leave dbus as a option for fax support?

I would really like to keep dbus as optional at compile time :)
Thanks for your time!
