No!

1.
The user's home directory is sacrosanct for any process which
does not run under the user's own ID (the backend runs as root
or as a system user like "lp").

2.
It cannot work via network.
I.e. when the user sends a fax by "printing" it from his workstation
to a remote fax/print server where HPLIP and CUPS actually run.
Even if this is not yet supported it will be supported in the future
(as far as I did understand the HPLIP authors) and then such
dirty and ugly hacks will fortunately break.


Of course there is a big difference whether a particular user
finds software which uses such evil hacks in the Internet
and installs it on his particular workstation or whether
such a kind of software is distributed by a company like HP
or distributed and installed by default by a Linux distributor.


Kind Regards
