here is efax-gtk.3.2.8

from: http://efax-gtk.sourceforge.net/
Introduction

Efax-gtk is a GUI front end for the 'efax' fax program. It can be used to send and receive faxes with a fax modem, and to view, print and manage faxes received. It also has a socket interface to provide a "virtual printer" for sending faxes from word processors and similar programs, and can automatically e-mail a received fax to a designated user, and automatically print a received fax.

I test these in lucid 528

Btw run this in terminal:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p FaxPrinter -E -v socket://localhost:9900

That will create a printer name for efax-gtk called FaxPrinter for a
case where efax-gtk is listening on port 9900.
so you can fax from CUPS
