Till--I was going to submit a seperate bug however found this one and I
think they are related. I'll also send this to the rest of the team and
see if they have any thoughts on it.
Issue:
Using the pre-installed HPLIP to configure a printer (in this case photosmart
3310) the hp-setup is not correctly selecting the fax ppd.
Steps:
Clean gutsy system
Install python-qt3
Run hp-setup
Configure a printer with fax using the default settings (i tested a networked
photosmart 3310)
Error at the end "Unable to find HP Fax PPD File. Please check your HPLIP
installation and try again."
Install Log:

Locate Fax PPD:
sudo updatedb
locate Fax outputs:
/usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/HP-Fax-hplip.ppd.gz
The problem:
Setup is looking for :
hp-setup[9738]: debug: Found PDD file: lsb/usr/hpijs/HP/HP-Fax-hplip.ppd.gz
Notice the LSB/USR..
It should be /usr/share/ppd, not lsb/usr/...also the file seems to be in
/usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP while setup is looking in /usr/hpijs/HP.
Works:
HPLIP 2.7.7 installed form source
HPLIP 2.7.10 installed from source
Does not work:
2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5
I've been able to reproduce this several times, although I am unable to
reproduce it after installing the HPLIP source (http://hplip.sf.net )
version 2.7.10 nor was I able to reproduce this by installing hplip
2.7.7..seems to be only the pre-installed ubuntu version.
