I also symlinked in the 7300 printer ppd Status: 1. hp-install now finds the fax, but pops up "fax queue setup failed; please restart cups and try again". Restarting cups and hplip does not change this. 2. The printer ppd file was found by hp-setup (previously I had to click something like "search manually"). Suggestion: When hp-setup can't find the ppd for the PRINTER, it asks the user to find it (which I did successfully several times). When hp-setup can't find the ppd for the FAX, it fails. The first behavior is preferable. I would prefer not to add symlinks (I just did the printer symlink for confirmation). Question: I am not a serious fax user. I prefer scanning, which now works thanks to you and aaron. How do I test if the hplip fax functionality is working. I suspect that the error msg above says that it is not, but I don't know for sure. Thanks again to you and aaron. allan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
