Hi Folks
i apologize since i dont have a lot of experience with linux.
However i'm sick of Windows and are switching over 2 Zorin OS.
Most things work just fine so far :D , only problem so far is that HP has stopped taking care about HP Lip support for Ubuntu 15.10
so the Printer and Scanner work but how 2 i get the Fax 2 work or show up as a " Printer " ?
is there a simple way 2 install the function like under Windows where it's installed as a FAX Printer :?:

These are my System Spec's :
Lenovo T420 Notebook
CPU Core I5 2520
16 GB DDR3 Kingston
256GB Muskin Msata SSD
320GB HD WD ( Stock )
Zorin OS 11 64bit

The information you need is here:

Looks like it may need (for FAX) to rely on CUPS and reliant on python-dbus being greater than 0.8 depending on distribution - from what I can tell Zorin has greater version present:

You may want/need to install 'hplip-gui' - not checked in synaptic when I checked my Zorin 9 install. ;) :D
