Hi John, If by "driver" you mean the fax ppd file, I copied it over to /usr/share/cups/model and "hp-setup -i" found it and installed it. The backend/hpfax failed error came after setting up the fax printer.
DSLinux has some similarities with Knoppix and Debian - see http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ if you're interested - most things work on it. I believe the backend/hpfax failed error is probably a minor issue, but the error log doesn't give too many pointers.
