I need umass, otherwise USB sticks and other USB disks are inaccessible.
Should the printer be plugged in and powered on at boot time?
I am already trying unsuccessfully to build hplip to access the printer in the
Unix way, without wine.
With wine, I might want to try another way, using MS-Windows drivers if
possible.
Building hplip failed due to a broken dependency, py-reportlab2
BROKEN= does not package
