Current HPLIP (1.6.9 and later) allows most tools to be used in text mode ('-n' option), for faxing one can use for example
hp-sendfax -n -p <fax queue> -f <fax number> <files>
So one can for example pre-configure a GNOME/GTK Fax GUI to use this command line. This could be done by printerdrake when setting up a fax queue.
One could also add ink level check and nozzle cleaning functions to printerdrake, which simply call the appropriate command line tools of HPLIP.
