Greetings Gaurav,
Actually, I've been mostly running distros live via USB. I was last using
Ubuntu Mate and had this experience, but ignored it because, really, I
don't have a telephone line connected. But, I just installed the latest
Mint 17.2 Cinnamon to disk and the same problem surfaced and, being sick
and having time, I thought I would try to resolve it. My guess is that it
is common with Ubuntu based distros. I don't have much experience with the
others. On some non-Ubuntu distros, I couldn't figure out how to get the
scanner to work and left after making an exerted effort of forum reading,
Googling, and IRC. The simple fix I listed allowed the GUI to install the
fax drivers. Since I don't know the code, I don't know if it's easier to
include the extra .gz file or just look for the .ppd. I assumed looking for
the .ppd would be the proper way to go.
