In the last packaging (2.8.2-0ubuntu1) I have removed all code which
modifies the fax PPD from debian/rules. So the fax PPD is OK in the
HPLIP package from the mentioned version on.

My /etc/hp/hplip.conf contains

ppd=/usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP
ppdbase=/usr/share/ppd/hpijs

and with this hp-setup finds the fax PPD for me. These are also the
settings of the hplip.conf of the original package.

Problem is here that /etc/hp/hplip.conf is a config file and for users
who have tried to fix this problem manually the file gets never replaced
with future updates.

As everything in /etc/hp/hplip.conf is distribution-specific and any
manual change by the user would break HPLIP I would suggest to let the
post-install script always replace the whole file with the standard one
of the package. WDYT?
