Donald Welch tested also PyQt 3.15 now, and there faxing with HPLIP
works. So the regression seems to have happened on the transition from
3.15 to 3.16.

Additional info from Donald Welch:
Thanks Till. I worked on this for a few hours last night and I am fairly
confident there is a problem with QSocketNotifier in PyQt 3.16. PyQt
3.14works OK. I will be testing with
3.15 today.

Hi,
I have a problem with HPLIP and PyQt (python-qt) 3.16. With the update
from 3.14 to 3.16 on Ubuntu Edgy the fax functionality (and perhaps
also other functions) of HPLIP stopped to work. Mandriva 2007 still
uses PyQt 3.14 and there faxing with HPLIP works.
HPLIP uses sockets to let the daemon (hpssd) pass data of a print job
sent into a fax queue to the fax GUI (hp-sendfax). The fax GUI does
not receive this data when PyQt 3.16 is used, but it receives and
processes the data correctly when PyQt 3.14 is used.
HPLIP versions are 1.6.7, 1.6.9, and 1.6.10.
Tested operating systems:
Mandriva 2007 (PyQt 3.14): works
Ubuntu Dapper/6.06 (PyQt 3.14): works
Ubuntu Edgy/6.10 (PyQt 3.16): fails
So there is a regression from Ubuntu Dapper to Edgy, faxing
functionality for HP's MF devices gets lost.
See also the Ubuntu bug report on this:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/python-qt3/+bug/66830
As Ubuntu is already in freeze for the final Edgy, it would be great
if the problem could be fixed by a small patch.
I am grateful for any kind of help.
Till
