Hi.
Me too. but that one page printed per fax idea is pretty wasteful of 
paper, especially if you are sending a lot of jobs. Might be better to 
run a daily cron job that reports what went through. Like a 'Journal' 
that our 'real' fax prints - one line per fax. I have hacked the notify 
script to print failed faxes (in limited circumstances, I doubt it 
works if there are multiple documents in the docq for the failed fax)

I think your print one page idea could be implemented via a function in 
the notify.awk script, and making sure that all faxes are spooled with 
notification requested.

Anyone?

I am looking for a way to automatically print (on paper)
the 75% of the first page of every FAX sent, together
with some general info (on the other 25% of the page)
as the destination, number of pages, date and time, ...

The idea is to get the same report as some more advanced
FAX machines deliver after every FAX transmission that can
serve as 'proof' that the specific FAX actually was sent to
that destination.

Printing is ok, but I can not manage to prepare the first page
in TIFF or Postscript (or whatever...)

I'am using Hylafax 4.0pl2
Linux 2.0.35

Is the somebody on the Net that can help me ?
or has implemented something identical ?

TIA
