Printing cover pages via WHFC



My Config:
RH 6.1 (no Updates Applied)
220 twgrh1 server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1beta1) ready.
WHFC Client 1.0.6
WHFC printer driver is Apple Laser Writer 16/1600 PS

When I use sendfax I send a fax AND a cover page. Works great!

When I attempt to send a fax (with *no* cover page) using WHFC client
(1.0.6) with either the ' Printer driver' or directly from the fax icon in
WHFC, it works great!

However, if I attempt to send a fax using WHFC client (1.0.6) with either
the ' Printer driver' or directly from the fax icon in WHFC, AND request a
cover page, it does not send. 
I noticed the main difference is that the faxcover.ps is an EPS file, while
the actual files I'm faxing are standard postscript. It seems a conversion
from EPS to postscript is missing / not recognized properly (not being
done?) on the *same* coverpage when using the WHFC client.

[root@twgrh1 docq]# cat doc64.cover

Has anyone run into this problem? If so, what's needed to fix this?
