Can I fax from OpenEMR to a HP7310 multifunction printer/fax/scanner?
Its installed using CUPS and HPLIP. Cups has both the printer and fax installed.

I doubt it. OpenEMR uses HylaFAX for outgoing prescriptions by fax, and I recently added support for incoming faxes (also via HylaFAX). A fax/modem is the hardware used in both cases.

not familiar with it,
but if you look at the config file, where the fax gets set,
you might be able to change the "send fax" comand provided that cups can work with a similar stanza.
at a given point, what the system does is issuing a command to print the fax, so, if the command you need to send the fax to hp310 can fit in that line, is probable that you can do it,
I am not very familiar with cups command line, but it might be something for you out there,

This is the command line to fax to the hp
hp-sendfax -p<printer> -f<number(s)> -n <file(s)>
so for an example
hp-sendfax -pOfficejet_7300_fax -f9794502043 -n /home/mine/test.txt

in includes/config.php
assign the string hp-sendfax -pOfficejet_7300_fax
to the sendfax variable
in controllers/C_Prescription_class.php
almost at the end of the file, look for
$args = " -n -d $faxNum $fileName";
change it for
$args = " -f".$faxNum." -n ". $fileName;
and give it a try,

That worked.
OpenEMR can fax through a HP Multifunction 7310 printer/fax using cups and hplip.
