Re: [hylafax-users] fax2ps remains blocked

[Lee Howard <faxguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As has been mentioned before ... although many people do it, and 
although it's documented like this on the HylaFAX HOWTO, it is a very 
bad idea to pipe to lpr from within faxrcvd/FaxDispatch because so many 
things in that chain of events can fail and cause it to hang and to 
cause what you're experiencing.

It is *so* much better an idea to spool the jobs to the printer in some 
other fashion.
