 The rc.d script is still mentioned in various places, like the install
 message (+DISPLAY) and the page the message refers to
 (http://am-productions.biz/docs/hplip.php). I believe the daemons used
 to be required for some driver features to work, it's quite possible
 that this has changed, but I don't think I've seen this mentioned when
 upgrading the port. Does this mean that the daemon is no longer required
 or is it started in some other way? Is this documented somewhere?

 It's quite possible that this is something specific to this setup,
 anything else that can prompt hpssd to enable dbus support even when
 disabled during build? From a quick root around, the error appeared to
 come from /usr/local/share/hplip/hpssd.py, which contains an
 unconditional check near the top. Is this supposed to be removed when
 building WITHOUT_DBUS?
