I don't have such a device, but according to this:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/inkjet_aio.html

Print Class 	Scan to PC3 	Photo Card Access4 	PC Send Fax5 	PC Initiated
Copy6 	Services and Status7 	Driver Plug-in8

Officejet J5750 All-in-One	1.7.2 	No	Yes	No	DJGenericVIP 	Yes	No

5 Fax supported means that PC initiated fax send is supported using
hp-sendfax, once an appropriate CUPS fax queue is set up.
