How to send faxes from a mac

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

1. With the netatalk package you can use UNIX-printers with a MAC. It
should be possible to grep after a fax-numbers in these ps-files.

2. Perhaps you can modify the text in the adobe ps printer driver when
it asks for the name of the ps-file to "Faxnumber". Then you can save
the file to a fileshare with the number as name. (need to scan the
directory :-/)

I did not try it, but my Macs work quite well with the UNIX-printers and fileshares.
Please tell me, if it works...
