The F2400 series is supported via the HPLIP package, see

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_f2400_series.html

but not for fax, only printing and scanning.  

HPLIP can be installed via Ubuntu Software Centre.  Then if the printer
is not recognised automatically, install it using System >
Administration > Printing.

Hope that helps.
