Those packages are not required by other packages.
But there are requirements within those packages: -------------------------------------------------------------------- # rpm -e --test hplip-sane error: Failed dependencies: hplip-sane ... is needed by (installed) hplip ...
# rpm -e --test hplip-hpijs error: Failed dependencies: hplip-hpijs ... is needed by (installed) hplip-sane ... hplip-hpijs ... is needed by (installed) hplip ... hplip-hpijs is needed by (installed) OpenPrintingPPDs-hpijs ... --------------------------------------------------------------------
When those packages are automatically installed on your system the reason are weak RPM dependencies i.e. "recommends" in other packages.
I don't know a simple command to find out by what other packages a particular package is recommended - i.e. what other packages recommend hplip or OpenPrintingPPDs-hpijs.
