Re: [hylafax-users] Looking for print-2-fax solution

["Drumm, Dan L." <DRUMM@xxxxxxxx>]

What I meant was that we print to a printer queue on the Hylafax server, and the server would extract the name/number information and pass the PS file to Hylafax for faxing.  The only driver that sent a usable PS file was for an “Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS” – That driver is not available for Windows 7.

 

I know there are many looking for a solution to this, and many more will pile on as XP is phased out.

What exactly do you mean by this?

Is it the printer you have configured for printing faxes ( model? brand? ) lacks a Windows 7 driver?

Is it a postscript printer?

==========================

 

 

We have had Hylafax-Iaxmodem-Asterisk fax system working for some time.  Printing to our fax printer is no longer possible for those moving to Windows 7.

 

… A workable W7 postscript driver is not available.

… Printing with PCL does not transfer Fax number information in ASCII and no one seems to have it working.

 

What can I do?

 

We are not interested in other products or going back to winprint.  We would like to continue to use the print to fax solution either by finding a working PS driver for W7, or by making PLC printing to the fax print queue work.

 

 

Any help or insight much appreciated!

 

Using Hylafax 6.04 on centos.
