I have fond already a bug: Fax is not working at all.
At first, the hpfax backend produces an error message when one simply calls it: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] h]# /usr/lib/cups/backend/hpfax Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hpfax", line 138, in ? uri = m.group(1) or '' AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' [EMAIL PROTECTED] h]# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When hp-sendfax renders a file (when using the "Add file to list" button) or the whole fax for sending it out, it seems that the filter process falls into an infinite loop. I does not exit, and after severeal minutes it comes to a timeout. Here my software versions: Mandriva Cooker HPLIP 1.6.6 CUPS 1.2.1 Python 2.4.3 Reportlab 1.19 Output of hp-check below.
