Allan-

Could you please try running this:

$ lpinfo -m | grep -i fax

On my system, it prints:

HP/HP-Fax-hplip.ppd.gz HP Fax

If it doesn't print anything, then the HP Fax PPD is not installed into a
directory that CUPS or HPLIP can find. You could try moving the file to,
perhaps, /usr/share/ppd or an appropriate subdirectory under there. On my
system, the file is located:

/usr/share/ppd/HP/HP-Fax-hplip.ppd.gz

I have successfully installed my network attached hp officejet 7310
via hp-setup.  However the fax function did not install.

Specifically, after I entered the printer and fax info and clicked
next, a popup appeared saying Unable to find HP fax PPD file.

The printer ppd file was located at
/usr/share/ppd/HP/HP-OfficeJet_9100-Postscript.ppd.gz.

Note that a test page was printed and the printer works fine under
cups.  Also the scanner works with xsane.

There is an hp fax directory with two hp fax pods on my system that
were installed by the hplip package:
  /usr/share/hplip/fax/ppd
  /usr/share/hplip/fax/ppd/HP-Fax-hplip.ppd

Is one of these the correct file and if so where should I put it so
that hp-setup finds it?  hp-setup asked me for the printer ppd and
chose the correct directory, but it did not ask me for the fax ppd

thanks,
allan
