Jason touched on the easiest solution: email to fax. You can use PHP to send the email, at which
point it will be converted to fax. Simply add a layer of code such that if your user chooses to
send via fax, the message is transparently relayed to the email/fax gateway.

Still does.

The closest equivalent to that would be to print via IPP. But I doubt whether
many people are set up for that.

For a free solution that has reasonable world-wide coverage, check

There are also plenty of subscription type email-fax gateway services that you
can integrate with PHP.
