I am peparing a new HPLIP package now which fixes the crash, but what
should happen instead of the crash is the output of an error message
that hpfax could not find the HPLIP library directory in
/etc/hp/hplip.conf. So independent of the release of the new HPLIP
package you should run the following commands in a terminal window to
clean up your HPLIP installation:

sudo dpkg -P --force-depends libsane-hpaio
sudo apt-get install libsane-hpaio
sudo apt-get install --reinstall hplip hplip-data

This makes sure that all needed files are in place and especially
recovers your /etc/hp/hplip.conf file.

If this does not work, try also

sudo rm -rf /var/spool/cups/tmp/.hplip
