Re: [hylafax-users] impossible to send incoming fax to local printeror e-mail

[Holger Raschke <holger.raschke@presse-data.de>]

Hi,
i really don't know, why you try to get it running with this old 
skripts. They were created at a time, where HylaFAX couldn't provide 
these features.
I assume that you are using SuSE 8.2 (as your webserver testpage at 
www.durbach.com tells it).
SuSE distributes an actual version of HylaFAX which has everything 
"built-in" except the printing you want.

Use the HylaFAX standard scripts delivered with the rpm, configure it 
for mailing in pdf-format and add a line for printing in bin/faxrcvd.
That's all.

Read the documentation on www.hylafax.org. Start with the excellent how-to.

Did you convert the faxfile (fax00035.tif) to ps?
If you don't want to use the HylaFAX standard, you have to do it in 2 steps:
first tiff2ps and then ps2pdf.
