Hello Michael, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and cups have been updated since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 467438 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and cups better.

This results in the inability to setup the FAX queue that HPLIP would provide. In addition, xsane does not find and cannot use the scanner with a DNS-SD configured printer. Trying to setup the FAX queue manually, running "hp-setup -i" results in the following snippet (FAX QUEUE setup only): ------------------- | FAX QUEUE SETUP | ------------------- Please enter a name for this fax queue (m=use model name:'Officejet_Pro_L7600_fax'*, q=quit) ? Using queue name: Officejet_Pro_L7600_fax error: Unable to find HP fax PPD file! Please check you HPLIP installation and try again. The above error occurs, despite the fact that the hpijs package provides both of the following files. /usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP/HP-Fax-hpijs.ppd.gz /usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP/HP-Fax2-hpijs.ppd.gz Attached is a screenshot of system-config-printer, trying to add an HP Officejet Pro L7650 on Ubuntu 9.10, illustrating the lack of an HPIJS option. I will also attach a similar screenshot from 9.04, showing that HPIJS is the default option, allowing the FAX queue to be setup, which also results in proper sane detection of the scanner function.
