Description:
When installing the `hplip` package the `hp-uinscan` program is installed too. The `hp-uinscan` is a CLI, so it shouldn't show up in the menus.

Solution:
Add the line "NoDisplay=true" in `hp-uiscan.desktop`. This will fix the problem when installing the `hplip` package, and creating the `.desktop` file.

* config and/or log files etc.

Thanks for reporting. But that .desktop file comes from upstream, so technically it's an upstream issue which you should be reporting to them. See also  FS#49060  for another example. PS: there are many CLI apps that come with similar .desktop files.
