I use hplip and yes dbus is installed.

I run a very minimal ascii/ceres system and following the trail of
things dependent on dbus - well, unless somebody knows better it looks
like we are stuck with it.

Apart from being unable to print, what happens in your system without
elogind or the various 'pam' things that need dbus?

What are you using instead of them?

I just might be about to learn something new!
