I've just spent an annoying two days trying to un-break my HP multifunction
printer/fax/scanner, and I hope I can spare some of you the same trouble.

My symptoms were that I couldn't send a fax using hp-sendfax, which has been
working very well for years -- until now.

After much floundering I finally tried deleting my existing cups printers
and allowing hp-setup to create new ones.  All better now :)

There may be more than one way to delete cups printers, I dunno, but I used the cups http interface by typing 'http://localhost:631' in my firefox URL bar
(cupsd must be running for this to work).


I have found in the past that anytime I update hp* or cups, I need to delete and set up my printer again. Sometimes it works but is flakey and sometimes it doesn't print at all. Deleting and adding again is the only fix I have found that works.

Sort of weird how that works tho.
