With pacman-4.2, optdeps that are installed with --asdep will not be outputted in -Qtd. (can be shown with -Qttd)
Are there plans to add a prompt to remove optdeps too? (e.g. if optdep installed with --asdep and not (optionally) required by another package then prompt)

Does this cover OP's situation situation?
Does a package have to be an optdep for this to work or can I "bind" any package this way?
hplip optionally needs cups, not the other way around. You would have to rebuild cups with hplip as a dependency to do what you want to do.
Or he can just use makedep.
makedep cups -a hplip
>.< fail on my part
]]>pacman -S hplip --asdep
printed my file, and all was good. However, looking at the output of
$ pacman -Qdt
hplip 3.13.6-1
I see that it is listed as a top level package. How can i put hplip "under" cups, so that if i end up removing cups and all its deps, hplip is automatically removed as well?
