hplip package (work in progress)

[Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a package for hplip, and it manages to reach the install phase and then it fails trying to create /etc/cups . Should we put /etc/cups inside the hplip store directory or what should we do with it?
