When you read the comment in hplip.spec
you could see why I used Recommends:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# On a minimalist system only hplip-hpijs may be installed
# (e.g. because of the above supplements for ghostscript_any)
# or on a minimalist package repository (e.g. on the openSUSE CDs)
# only hplip-hpijs may be available (even when a usual system is installed).
# When only hplip-hpijs is there, it should tell the dependency resolver
# that for usual functionality, hplip should be installed too (if possible).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will change it to Supplements because it is impossible
to use Recommends as I intended.
Recommends has in the end the same result as Requires
(if the packages are available to be installed) because
our installer installs recommended packages silently
but on the other hand Supplements is useless for what
I like to get because our installer ignores it silently.
Therefore there is now way to only notify the user that
hplip is recommended because the installer acts silently.
