Problem with CUPS and HPLIP

[rowo]

I installed cups and hplip but the printer work print. It seems that there are many dependencies not met, here is the output of hp-check:https://pastebin.com/Nr5NKYK1

You should use -r (for runtime),
So I did
And pay attention that the check they do is a bit stupid as they are checking devel package. They mentionned "dbus is not installed" which is wrong of course, but they want dbus.devel which for me make no sense, idem for gcc and so on

I used -r as well but that doesn't change anything. I tried to print from Firefox, LibreOffice and GIMP. Why is IPP used for a local USB printer? The connection is "usb://HP/DESKJET%20940C?serial=CN15U6C0J7BH"

Ok, that was my mistake. I installed the printer using localhost:631 in a browser, but I should have used the HP Device Manager Now printing works.
