[hylafax-users] Strange printouts



OK, stay with me for a paragraph or two, because this _is_ HylaFAX related
somehow.  I think.  Possibly.

I'm moving from a proprietary Unix to Linux, which is the reason I'm installing
HylaFAX - we used to run VSIFax.  Everything's working fine; no problems at all
- except for a dozen strange printouts.

Faxes come in, and I've got FaxDispatch that says

 $TIFFBIN/fax2ps -W 8.7 -H 10.6 $FILE|lp -dsales

Works great. Our last fax, according to the logs, came in on 8/31 at 3:47.
Makes sense - everyone bugged out for the long weekend.  

But every once in a while, strange printouts come out of that printer.  They're
always the same, and they say this:

%%Trailer
%%Pages: 0
%%EOF

This weekend 56 of them printed.  In the latest batch, 13 printed between 4:10
and 4:29 today; the previous bunch had 8 between 12:09 and 12:26.

So why the heck am I posting this to a HylaFAX forum?  Because the printouts
all come with a banner page, and it gives the requesting user as uucp.

As far as I know, the only uucp-owned processes here are HylaFAX's - faxq,
hfaxd, and the three faxgetty.

Nothing that I can find in _any_ log that mentions uucp.  Nothing in
/var/log/messages happening at that time.

Anyone got any ideas?  I'm stumped.
