Public bug reported:

I use Ubuntu 20.10 with hplip 3.20.5+dfsg0-3build1.  The AiO fax is
physically attached to the router via the fax cable and via the Ethernet
cable, and my Ubuntu machine communicates with the router through WiFi.
Printing works, but not faxing. I tried several ways of sending a two-
page PDF through a fax, in particular several ways of choosing the fax
driver and the device URI, but, never mind what I did, the fax did not
get sent.  For example, the recent attempt put

[14447.505158] audit: type=1400 audit(1605916929.875:51):
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-
pdf" name="/etc/cups/" pid=11678 comm="cups-pdf" requested_mask="r"
denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0

into the syslog.  Is it a bug?  Perhaps.  Does it have anything to do
with faxing?  Perhaps, no idea.  Some of my faxing attempts ended with
the "abgebrochen" status, others with "Die Druckerkonfiguration ist
nicht korrekt oder der Drucker existiert nicht mehr." status.

I guess, my main point of criticism is that it's nowhere clearly
written, in a step-by-step way, how to send a fax and what to expect at
each step.  For example, https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-
printing/howtos/faxing mentions the "Items" tab, but on my machine,
there is no such tab.   The description on
https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/HPLIP/#Faxen is equivalent to empty.  Yes, I
did run the hp-sendfax program!

I short, how on earth do I send my through the fax?
