Does hplip actually require foomatic-db?

Hi, I struggled for an hour to set up an HP Deskjet 3050 J610a connected via WiFi. I had hplip installed, but http://localhost:631/admin gave the cryptic message "Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success". Finally I ran `sudo pacman -Rdd foomatic-db` and was able to install the printer without any more trouble.

So my question is: Does hplip actually require foomatic-db? If foomatic-db-engine is sufficient, foomatic-db should be removed from hplip's dependency list. In fact, it should probably be marked as a conflicting package.
