Hello, http://hplip.sourceforge.net/howtos/faxing.html reads that the fax queue is stopped when a user "prints" a document directly into the fax queue but for me using HPLIP 1.6.10 with CUPS 1.2 (on AMD 64-bit) it works.
When different users "print" documents into the fax queue they wait in the queue until the HPLIP fax utility is started to get them actually faxed. But I detected two problems here: 1. It seems to work only when the user who had "printed" the first document into the fax queue starts the HPLIP fax utility. Then all usres can select their specific documents in the HPLIP fax utility to get them actually faxed. If another user who had "printed" a subsequent document into the fax queue starts the HPLIP fax utility, he cannot select his document in the HPLIP fax utility to get it actually faxed. But when now the first user who had "printed" the first document into the fax queue starts the HPLIP fax utility for both users their respective document(s) appears in their respective HPLIP fax utility GUI. I.e. it seems that the first document in the fax queue prevents all other users who had "printed" subsequent documents to actually fax them until the first user started the HPLIP fax utility. 2. When the users start the HPLIP fax utility but do not actually fax their documents but simply close the HPLIP fax utility (and exit the hp-toolbox), it seems the documents get silently lost. They are neither in the fax queue (CUPS shows them via "lpstat -W completed" i.e. for CUPS they are done) nor do they re-appear when the HPLIP fax utility was re-started. I think they should "survive" even if for example the hplip services are stopped and re-started (e.g. because of a reboot).
