Bug Description
HPLIP v. 2.7.7 does not add files to the fax task. When I press "Add Files" and then select and open the file, the file does not appear in the "Files to Fax" window.
TEST CASE:
Update: A dry test without having an actual HP MF device is possible. do
lpadmin -p fakefax -E -v hpfax:/
hp-sendfax
and follow the instructions below. Remove the fax queue with "lpadmin -x fakefax" afterwards.
For any fax-capable multi-function device start hp-sendfax and try to add a file to the list of files to be faxed. The tool will hang in an infinite loop. Faxing is not possible at all. Also files sent into a fax queue do not arrive in hp-sendfax' list.

Don, Dave, Raghu, the change of the architecture of HPLIP has broken the fax functionality completely. If i open hp-sendfax and try to add a plain text file to the list of documents to fax, the tool simply falls into an infinite loop ("Processing fax file" never disappears).
Can you please supply a patch with the fix as soon as possible, so that we can provide a fix for Gutsy next week? Thanks.
