I find it here: usr/lib/cups/backend/hpfax
You may try renaming it and, if hplip doen't protest, delete it.

Wierdsville. localhost:631 looks normal, everythings there.
Now, pursuant to a log message, which showed me where cups keep its
filters, I tried to add the missing filter using tde_print. /But it
wouldn't let me do anything. It was asking for roots passwd, and root
doesn't have one, I do everything of that nature with sudo, and if
needed, su from there. It would not accept my pw for sudo. How do I fix
this? Cups 2.21 itself has no provision in its configuration sequence
to set a filter, one supplied by brother...
Cups is a pita. Set a root password, that saves you a lot of trouble:
# sudo passwd root
