Next, I'd like to be able to use the fax features. I never tried this in
F9 - I just assumed it would work since it found the fax features via
the printer setup automatically. But in F10 this also seems to be
non-existent.

Can someone point me to the relevant packages or magic incantation to
make this stuff work?


I'm using OfficeJet J5783 on F9 and it works just fine.
Two questions.
A. Scanner: Did you install libsane-hpaio package?

Yes I did. This wasn't all that was needed though. It turns out that the
same hplip driver package I installed to get SANE to recognize the
scanner also _does_ enable Fax support!

For some reason (and to my surprise), the HP Fax driver didn't show up
as an option with the printer configuration utility
(system-config-printer) until _after_ I rebooted - which I did for
something completely unrelated.

B. Fax: Did you try using the HP Fax driver? (Within the
system-config-printer)

After it showed up - yes I did! Looks like everything is working now.

So, the final solution:
1) Install all of the HP oriented SANE tools (libsane-hpaio, etc.)
2) Install the hplip package
3) Reboot (??? Don't know why I should have to, but it worked...)
4) Configure printer and fax as normal

Cheers,

Chris

Good to hear the everything is working now.
Though, when I connect my HP all-in-one printer, everything more-or-less
worked out the box. No reboot was required...

I wonder if it's a udev bug?
