Don't know if this will help with 2.7.7, but I ran the following to configure 2.7.10 that fixes the problem with the faxing.
Scanning and printing work as well. This has been tested via a networked HP Photosmart c6180 All-In-One.
I have created a debian package of my 2.7.10 install with checkinstall. It conflicts with hpijs, but I am afraid to remove the hpijs package since removing it also removes
ubuntu-desktop (??)
Anyways, I installed with make install, and then built the checkinstall package on my system, so if you would like to use the 2.7.10 debian package, you will probably need to force the install to overwrite the common files with the hpijs package.
