[hylafax-users] Outgoing page not complete? (Was The best Postscript printer driver for sambafax)

[mwestern@sola.com.au]

Heya all,
been doing a little more playing and i think i've found the cause of the
problem.

if i'm right hylafax -> hylafax goes like this.

1. sendfax. (sender)
the issue is that the sending hylafax dones't seem to send a full page.  it
only seems to sends the part of the page that has text/pics/etc on it and
when it reaches the blank space of the page it stops the job.

2. faxrcvd (receiever)
i think the faxrcvd is ok, but i have done a lot of mucking around with the
parameters of the tiff2ps and the ps2pdf 

has anybody tried this arrangement with two hylafax servers?  or has anybody
noticed some incoming faxes are not complete pages and seems like the
sending fax sent a half page?   

hmm.  i might have a play with watermarks.  perhaps i can create a tiny
little invisible water mark down the bottom right of each page that the eye
can't see but will cause it to send a full page.  :)  

it's all good fun eh?

greets to all the developers of hylafax, you guys have done a pretty darn
good package here.  easy to setup, easy to understand.  very well done.  :)
keep it up.

regards
Matt

I think your right.  I just did a fax to a real fax machine and it came out
fine.  perhaps that's normal for hylafax faxing to not send an entire A4
page, but just the part with something on it?  

the problem seems to be when hylafax converts it back to PDF as specified in
my FaxDispatch file.   hmm.  i wonder where the script is that creates the
.pdf file from a fax.   and if it's originally stored as a tiff and then
converts to pdf it's the tiff -> pdf routine that is a little confused?

thanks for the feedback people.
regards
Matthew

I'm using the LaserWriter 16/600 PS too and not having one single trouble...

mmm... your problem seems more about page size/border size than about the 
driver.

Have tried changing the settings for the hylafax printer to use a slightly 
longer/shorter page? Does it have any effect?
