As something of a test, a start-up script has been added to start the cups and dbus daemons when the extensions are loaded. This will only work if the extensions are loaded in the correct order.

Note:
1. For versions of tc earlier than 2.4rc1, if the extensions listed in hplip.tczl.dep are placed in /tce, the dbus and cups daemons will not start on boot as the boot process loads the extensions in alphabetical order.
2. If the extensions listed in hplip.tczl.dep and hplip.tczl/hplip.tczl.dep are placed in /tce/optional (or any other folder) and the appbrowser is used to load hplip.tczl, then the dbus and cups daemons will start and the cups browser interface should find your hp printer/all-in-one automatically

Note also:
The hplip.tcel extension has not been modified.

I discovered that something about the new dynamic ppd drivers broke printing pdf files from the command line and made print jobs from windows machines spit out two extra blank sheets for each print job.

This is some what fixed by changing the gs dep to a dep on gs-8.70 and gsfonts - now the pdf printing works fine, windows print jobs don't use two additional sheets, but still give an error "/usr/local/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"
