I installed cups (and its needed packages) and it worked for several print jobs. After getting 1 that errored out a lot, i found i needed to install hplip. I ran
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?

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

With pacman-4.2, optdeps that are installed with --asdep will not be outputted in -Qtd. (can be shown with -Qttd)

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?

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)
