We put the fax numbers in the documents and use sambafax (running behind
LPRng instead of cups because it's much easier to set up) to
extract/send them. It's not as flexible as using a client program, but
also it means you don't need to use a client program and anything can
send faxes if it can print.

Not really, DBus is gaining ground very rapidly, almost every new
installation these days includes it as it's deeply embedded now in
things like Gnome and hotplug/udev type shenanigans.

Both my Fedora and Ubuntu boxes pop up little systray icons when I print
something, hack client support into that (it's called egg-cups) maybe?
