How about cupsys and hplip on machines without printer?
And bunch of laptop services on desktop machines?
And lvm/evms?

I mean if it's not possible to determine if the machine is laptop
automatically then it should be asked during installation. And
cupsys/hplip should be started only if the printer is avaible.
