I made some more progress on this but still did not manage to add my
OfficeJetK80 fax to the cups printer queue - I had not realised that
python-2.3.6 does not compile the readline extension by default and
also the configure option --enable-readline no longer works.
Prior to adding the readline.so extension to python, I get this:
$ hp-setup -i
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/hplip/bin/hp-setup", line 31, in ?
import readline, gzip
ImportError: No module named readline
After adding readline, I get this:
$ hp-setup -i

It appears that hp-set up does not like python running from
/opt/python-2.3/bin (which is in the path) when used as root, so:
$ sudo ln -s /opt/python-2.3/bin/python /usr/bin
$ sudo hp-setup -i --type=fax --fax=OfficeJetK80Fax

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'
Note that HP-Fax-hplip.ppd.gz is in /opt/hplip/share/cups/model, the
fax uri is hpfax:/usb/OfficeJet_K80?serial=ES0911401VOH and cups and
hplip are compiled in /opt/hplip.
1. Where does hp-setup expect to find the fax ppd? Is it possible to
tell hp-setup where to find the fax ppd?
2. Ref the drop down box in the cups 'add printer" dialogue - since
it does not list the fax uri as one of the possible options, is it
possible to insert the fax uri in whatever temporary file/conf file
cups uses to force the issue?
Thanks for the help so far
