Comment 42 for bug 59409

Hello there,

I read above with interest, BUT...
Note: My HP Officejet Pro L7590 is connected to my LAN.

1- In my previous Ubuntu 9.04 after having installed HPLIP (v. ?) from Ubuntu depositories, launched it and used its Device Manager - Setup Device... I was able without any problem to detect my Officejet - both Printer and Fax - and then to use both fonctions during 6 months without any problem and trick to implement. GREAT!

2- Now, I just have installed the new Ubuntu 9.10 which run perfectly. I have done as per above installing HPLIP (but now v. 3.9.8) from Ubuntu repositories.
When trying its Device Manager - Setup Device... My OJ is well recognized (HP Officejet Pro l7500 HPA31632 hp:/net/Officejet_Pro_L7500?zc=HPA31632) and then ONLY the Printer driver is proposed ready to be installed.

=> PB: For the FAX, I am getting the following message: "HP Device Manager - Setup. Unable to locate the HPLIP Fax PPD file - HP-Fax.hpcups.ppd.gz. Fax setup has been disable!".
Trying to go further reading thru HPLIP web site, I have red this version of HPLIP (i.e. v. 3.9.8) needs at least CUPS v.1.2 when Ubuntu 9.10 is only proposing and installing CUPS v.1.1.12! and with no update.

What do you thing? How can I fix this/my Fax issue? Is it Ubuntu 9.10 / HPLIP 3.9.8 issue or specific to my PC?
Thank you. Cheers.
