[hylafax-users] setting up smbfax fax queue:

["Joe W. Guy, Jr." <jguy@amhcu.org>]

Greetings, I'm trying to set up a fax queue in Red Hat Linux using
printconf-tui.  I looked at the smbfax HOWTO but it didn't make sense as per
my distro.  The readme says to put a entry in my smb.conf file like this:
[fax]
     comment = OTC Fax Printer
     path = /tmp
     lpq command = /usr/local/smbfax/smbfax show
     lprm command = /usr/local/smbfax/smbfax dequeue %j
     print command = /usr/local/smbfax/smbfax -r queue %u %s
     queuepause command = /bin/true
     queueresume command = /bin/true
     postscript = true
     browseable = yes
     printable = yes
     writable = no
     create mode = 0700
     printing = lprng

But, my distro doesn't look like that.  I'm running samba-2.2.1a-4 on RH 7.2

Seems that I can't put printer entries directly into the smb.conf file
because it's looking for a file called printcap.  Well, when I vi the
printcap, I get a warning:
# DO NOT EDIT! MANUAL CHANGES WILL BE LOST!
# This file is autogenerated by printconf-backend during lpd init.
#
# Hand edited changes can be put in /etc/printcap.local, and will be
included.

Well, when I use printconf-tui this is what the entry in printcap looks
like:
 Fax:\
        :sh:\
        :ml=0:\
        :mx=0:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/Fax:\
        :af=/var/spool/lpd/Fax/Fax.acct:\

I'm really confused now.  The two do not even look the same.  Any
suggestions out there on how to set up smbfax with this version of RH and
smb?  Thanks!!!
