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 -- =================================== "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."
