[CentOS] Setting up HP OfficeJet 5610 fax on CentOS 4.4 shared
Hi there, As the subject says, I'm trying to set up an HP OfficeJet 5610 on CentOS 4.4 for shared use across my machines. I've managed to get printing (through HPLIP/ CUPS/ SAMBA) and scanning (through SANE) shared; but I'm unable to get fax shared working. Is it possible to do that? The instructions on the HPLIP page talk about installing the 5610 as a fax device and then faxing using hp-sendfax and hp-toolbox etc. But what I want to do is to share the fax device itself on the network -- like the printer and scanner -- any ideas on how I can achieve that? Thanks, Rakhesh ps. I am using CentOS-server. No GUI etc. So would prefer CLI oriented solutions. Thanks.

Nahant-4 couldn't drive it, and I built the latest hp tools and they segfaulted, so I installed RHEL5 beta1 on a Pentium III, just to drive this thing. Works find, the tools even installed the fax bit, even though the 3052 doesn't do fax. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Please do not reply off-list
