Re: [hylafax-users] Bad 1D/2D pixel counts and invalid code words UPDATE

["Dennis Fellows" <dennis@lamtop.com>]

Lee,
Thanks for all your help, REALLY! I agree that I'm looking at a libtiff
problem. I mentioned in an earlier email that I'm also dealing with line
noise problems and the errors from the fax log are re-confirming it.

I don't think I'm dealing with conflicting libtiffs because I had this
problem before I went to libtiff 3.4 and back again to 3.5.5-7.

To "fix" the problem I am now using tiff2ps (which comes with libtiff). It
generates LOTS of errors (sent to /dev/null) but it makes it through the
postscript generation.

Again, I appreciate all your help (and thanks to Bernd Proissl for his last
suggestion). I'm a systems engineer and not a linux guru but I love the open
source community and am learning it's benefits.

Best Regards,
Dennis Fellows
