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.

I recently bought a Laserjet 3052. 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.
