The enhancement request is invalid.
The "hp-setup" stuff is available intentionally regardless
of what is autodetected or selected in yast2-printer.
Reason:
Assume there is a non-HP USB printer connected
and there is a WiFi network printer from HP.
USB printers are autodetected but
WiFi network printers are usually not autodetected.
The first autodetected printer is selected by default
so that the USB printer would be selected in yast2-printer.
Because the WiFi network printer from HP is not autodetected
it does not exist from CUPS' and yast2-printer's point of view.
There is no way in yast2-printer to get HP's WiFi network printer
selected (with reasonable effort - there is a complicated manual
way how an expert could achieve it - practically it is useless).
But HP's own hp-setup tool can be used to setup even
WiFi network printers from HP.
See the help text for the "Add New Printer Configuration" dialog:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
An alternative way to set up HP devices is to 'run hp-setup'.
HP's own tool 'hp-setup' provides setup support in particular
for HP printers and HP all-in-one devices which require
a proprietary driver plugin to be downloaded from HP and
installed in the right way on a particular end-user's system.
Furthermore 'hp-setup' can provide better setup support
for HP network printers and HP all-in-one network devices
because HP's own tool can implement special handling
for special HP network devices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore "hp-setup" must be available to be run in any case
regardless of what is autodetected or selected in yast2-printer.
