Now I see what the problem is: hp-setup requires the hpcups version of
the fax PPDs. In general, Fax is supported by both the hpcups and HPUS
(and system-config-printer is capable of setting up fax queues with both
drivers). hp-setup seems not to automatically recognize if perhaps only
HPIJS is installed and then set up fax queues with HPIJS. This is a bug
in hp-setup.

If you plug in an HP printer for which there is no queue yet on USB, the
two queues should get automatically created. If you use system-config-
printer you will find two auto-detected printers (for USB), one for the
fax and one for the printer. For network printers you find two entries
under "Connection".

If it does not work this way with system-config-printer, please run tyhe
following commands and post the output:

lpinfo -v
lpstat -v
/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp
/usr/lib/cups/backend/hpfax
sudo lsusb
sudo ls -l /dev/bus/usb/*/*
ls -l /dev/usb/lp*
