Hi Arco,
i patched hylafax to allows my users (using a patched version of SuSEFax)  to 
select if they want a printout of the fax when it is successfully sent.
They can also choose the Printerqueue to print to. It works quite well for 2 or 
3 years now in my environment.
The patch adds 2 new parameters for the JPARM-Request.

USEPQUEUE which is of type boolean and tells the server to print the job upon 
successful completion and
PQUEUE which is a string containing the name of the printqueue to print to the 
fax.

In lack of more time to spend with hylafax though, i only added those 
parameters to the hfaxd-server and changed the notify-script to do the printing 
job. I made no changes neither to the documentation, nor to the sendfax client, 
which i wanted to do before i submit the patch. Well this was 2-3 years ago ...
The only program that knows up to now about the new parameters is the modified 
SuSEFax Client we use here.
If you like, i could send you the patches.
If you have to have a printed version of each of those faxes you could just 
modify notify.awk. as follows

if (nfiles > 0) {
	for (i=0; i < nfiles; i++){
		 system("lpr -P "yourprinterqueugoeshere" files[i]);
	}
}


Regards Thomas
