I've filled a bug on rpmlint

I wouldn't like to add an additional dependency to the app, especially when
braille conversion table doesn't mention such a rule, and we have to keep in
mind every filter in the chain slows printing a little. On the top of that,
hplip ships bunch of HP drivers, which are of no value for braille-printer-app
user, and there is a possibility libcupsfilters+cups-filters will provide the
conversion.

To sum it up I won't add a new dependency because there is no explicit
conversion rule which tells us that should be possible in default installation.

However I've filed an issue with question about direct conversion support as
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/braille-printer-app/issues/7 .
