Re: flexfax: Tiff Viewer

If your printer doesn't support postscript, then yes indeed you will
have to use ghostscript to convert it to another printer language like
PCL.

First run:-

ghostscript -h

This will give you a list of devices (among other things) that it
supports. Then use

ghostscript -dDEVICE=<some device> somefile.ps

Pipe the output of that into the printer.
