The way is: samba --> printspooler --> hylafax
The entry 'path=/var/spool/lpd/lp' in the smb.conf describes only where the
spooler should 'work on' the print files which are sent from the client
machine. The entry ':if=/var/spool/fax/bin/sambafax' in the printcap means
that the print output is taken by 'sambafax' and then is 'sent' to HylaFAX.

Do you have defined a fax printer which can be seen via 'lpq -a'? Can it be
accessed from WInX? BTW, what print spooler do you use? LPD or CUPS?
