Sorry, I do not understand your statement.

I do not have an HP attached, so this service should not be started on 
my machine (according to Xubuntu's philosophy of being lean). Of course, 
if more than 50% of all Xubuntu users have an HP attached, then this 
service should probably be enabled by default. But have they? I am in 
doubt...

You could start a lot of services in advance so that some users would 
not have to do anything to get their hardware working. But this would 
not be a lean distribution.

Greetings and thank you all for your fantastic work in Xubuntu,
Joachim
