Re: [hylafax-users] sending faxes, graphics?

[Bryan Koschmann - GKT <gktnews@gktech.net>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I possbily found the problem, but no idea how to fix it.

Just for the sake of trying, I modified the sambafax script, hardcoded the
Username and Hostname variables, then cat'ed the spooled file in
/var/spool/lpd to it, and it worked fine! so it just seems to be something
with how lpd is processing it to the sambafax command.

Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm kinda stuck.

Thanks!

	Bryan
