Got a new HP multifunction printer right about the same time I started testing Feisty on this desktop box a couple of weeks ago. Well, I've been very happy with how easy HPLIP "just worked"

Had cause to send a fax today and figured I'd try it out. ! Hey ! "No devices found." Huh? oh well...
started to search the ubuntu forums for 'HP fax feisty' and.... ! Wait a minute, rada !

*oopsie* uh...

I haven't had a phone line hooked up to any host on this network for months, and the printer of course just scans and faxes via some host's modem. Gee, Feisty doesn't automatically detect the lack of a phone connection and go find one on someone else's network for me to use?

Maybe I'll [Bad-Idea:] suggest a fax line auto-hacker for Gutsy Gibbon... :)
