Comment 2 for bug 1306344

Please try the following:

1. In a terminal window run the command

sudo touch /usr/bin/hp-sendfax

Does hp-setup work now?

If not, run

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/hp-sendfax

Does hp-setup work now?

Now run

sudo rm /usr/bin/hp-sendfax

to return to the original state.

2. Set up your printer with system-config-printer (for example via the printer icon in the System Settings). Does this work?

3. The steps of (1) will probably only satisfy hp-setup, but not make you able to actually send faxes. To send faxes you need to install the hplip-gui package:

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui

Please tell whether after this everything works.
