Re: [hylafax-users] hylafax sends actual postscript text and not the tiff/f

["Bradley D. Larson" <blarson@xxxxxxxxx>]

As per the instructions I am printing to a PS driver...  
http://www.purpel3.nl/sambafax/   says:
   On your samba client, install a new printer with a postscript driver 
(like an apple laserwriter 12/640 PS) to print to \\YOURSERVER\SalsaFax

Which generates a file such as follows:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: HylaFAX TextFmt Class
%%Title:
%%CreationDate: Thu Jun  3 15:50:57 2004
%%For: root
%%Origin: 0 0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Pages: (atend)
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%DocumentNeededResources: font Courier-Bold
%%EndComments
%%BeginProlog
/$printdict 50 dict def $printdict begin
/ISOLatin1Encoding where{pop save true}{false}ifelse
/ISOLatin1Encoding[
...

It then converts that file to a tiff/f and faxes 15 pages of PS so you get:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: HylaFAX TextFmt Class
%%Title:
%%CreationDate: Thu Jun  3 15:50:57 2004
%%For: root
%%Origin: 0 0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Pages: (atend)
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%DocumentNeededResources: font Courier-Bold
%%EndComments
%%BeginProlog
/$printdict 50 dict def $printdict begin
/ISOLatin1Encoding where{pop save true}{false}ifelse
/ISOLatin1Encoding[
...

Which is not the text I wish... I wish the text that the PS represents.

It should convert (ps2fax) the PS code  to the actual document in the 
form of a tiff.
