Applied fixed patch - this has a better chance of working now. I've checked and hpcups no longer links to libImageProcessor. Which, by the way, the previous build dumped onto my main system (not even in "make install"), but not into the package itself. I no longer own an HP printer and will never buy another one, so if there are any remaining problems please report.
