I've been trying without success to get the pc send fax feature working with hplip. first with version 0.9.9, and now with 0.9.10, which I installed using apt today, (I'm running debian sid). I configured my hp officejet 7310xi with the cups interface as a network printer. I can print and scan from both computers on my small home network, pc faxing just doesn't work.
hp-setup tells me I have print and fax queues set up for the device. I'd be grateful if someone could give me some troubleshooting tips--commands that might reveal errors, e.g. Below is a summary of my attempts to solve this, along with suggestions I received from Don Welch and Aaron Albright: > Message: 1 > To: [email protected] > From: dwelch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 09:47:38 -0700 > Subject: [Hplip-help] Re: can't fax with officjet 7310xi > > Tim Folger wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm running debian sid with a 2.16.1 kernel on an hp laptop, with an > > OfficeJet 7310xi, which is connected via my wireless home network.

I'm not referring to KDE's fax tool. I choose a printer, in my case it's called newofficjet_fax (hpfax:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=192.168.15.100) but when I select it to send a fax nothing happens--the file just stays in a queue. > > Use 'lpstat -v' to determine if you are correctly setup. lpstat -v gives me this: $ lpstat -v device for newofficejet: hp:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=192.168.15.100 device for newofficjet_fax: hpfax:/net/Officejet_7300_series?ip=192.168.15.100 > > Did you use hp-setup to setup the fax queue? No, I used CUPS, and followed these instructions since my printer is connected to my home network: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/step4/cups/net.html > > -Don > > > /var/log /messages shows this: > > > > hpiod: 0.9.9 accepting connections at 37630... > > Apr 18 19:59:09 Folger kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found > > > > Thanks in advance. > > > > Tim > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting > > language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
