			'''For more than one printer:'''

			If you have some departments or users with their own faxnumbers and want print out the incoming fax messages near by, you can make this changes in etc/FaxDispatch:

			<pre>
			## and/or by device
			case "$DEVICE" in
			ttyIAX0)
			SENDTO=name@your-domain.com # all faxes received on ttyIAX0
			PRINTER=hplj1320 # Print document with printer=
			;;
			esac
			</pre>

			And do this changes in bin/faxrcvd at line 199 for HylaFAX Version 4.3.1:

			<pre>
			if [ -n "$SENDTO" ]; then
			# Create the document to attache
			if [ -z "$MSG" ]; then
			MailWithFAX success
			else
			MailWithFAX error
			fi
			# If $PRINTER not empty, then print $FILE with $PRINTER
			if [ -n "$PRINTER" ]; then
			$FAX2PS $FILE \| lpr -P$PRINTER
			fi
			else
			# If $PRINTER not empty, then print $FILE with $PRINTER
			if [ -n "$PRINTER" ]; then
			$FAX2PS $FILE \| lpr -P$PRINTER
			fi

New page

To automatically print incoming faxes to lpr, insert a line of code similar to

/usr/bin/tiff2ps -a $FILE | lpr

into your faxrcvd script, assuming that your printer is PostScript compatible.

Dieter Kluenter dkluenter@gmx.de has added at line 112 of faxrcvd these lines for his printing:

<pre>
if [ -n "$SENDTO" ]; then
echo ""

echo "The facsimile was automatically dispatched to: $SENDTO."
else
$TIFFBIN/fax2ps $1 | lpr -Plp
fi
</pre>

Michael mwu@mail2.tercel.com.tw states:

Our printing environment is specific, a shared HP LJ1100 (A4 only).
To be able to print out various types of paper sizes, we use the
following code for printing (0.95 * A4 size):

/usr/bin/tiff2ps -a -h 11.1082 -w 7.8543 $FILE | /usr/bin/lpr

If we use fax2ps, it would be complicated to handle the printouts of
different paper sizes.
