Then I would suggest the following:

Don, you tell us exactly, which programs are GUI-only and which are also usable on the text console.

The GUI-only programs and ALL desktop menu entries (also the ones of combined test/GUI tools, as a call from the menu makes only sense for the GUI mode) we move to hplip-gui, all the rest stays in hplip.

Then there is no not-working menu entry any more when having only booted/installed the CD without any extra packages, but there is still the possibility to do from the command line what is possible on the command line.

Installing hplip-gui will then automatically also install python-qt3 and all GUI tools (and GUI parts of combined text/GUI tools) are accessible via menu entries and work.
