Created attachment 922985 [details] hplip hp-sendfax logfile Gentoo seems to be missing helvetica-bold which seems to be hp's default for the 'basic' coverpage. in hplip/faxes/coverpages.py one can change what font is being used... as well as it seems support for truetypes has been commented out, but left functional. As a test of whether its worth pursing supporting hp-fax on gentoo, I installed the truetype helvetica-bold.tff, uncommented & transformed the uming font calls already in the coverpages.py file; and got this `https://faxbeep.com/faxtest/fax_678e4438/ (edit me once confirmed)` but I don't know what the pushed patch' should replace the font with realistically, in regards to FOSS and the community's ideals If patches are being added to keep faxing working, I think it would be nice to iron out this small issue below, by adding 'r' infront of the 'b' turning it into a raw that can accept the escaped sequence. I haven't investigated why this is getting called, only that changing it to raw resolves the syntax warning. ``` /usr/share/hplip/fax/ledmfax.py:46: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\d' http_result_pat = re.compile(b"""HTTP/\d.\d\s(\d+)""", re.I) ^r ````
UNPATCHED WORKAROUND: Don't use `basic` coverpage when faxing. any other type confidential, urgent, etc... is fine to use.
