Comment 7 for bug 710850

The trace shows that the problem appear in "/usr/share/hplip/ui4/setupdialog.py" file, in line 1068 (or 1058 in the original trace from Huether.

As far as I can understand, these lines contain retrieval commands for initial fax information:

self.fax_number = unicode(d.getPhoneNum())
self.fax_name_company = unicode(d.getStationName())

If fax functionality is not of high importance, there can be a workaround applied by hardcoding the initial values. Just change the lines to something like:

self.fax_number = unicode("1234")
self.fax_name_company = unicode("home")

This allowed me to proceed with printer setup.
