Print-to-fax - documentation anyone?

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

Hi,

there are a number of sample scripts in the source code package, in the
"frontends/" directory.

Actually, there is only one major problem doing that: you have to get the
fax number out of the print job.  Depending on the sofware that prints
into that queue, this might be nearly impossible (e.g. the Windows
postscript driver tends to put all the letters of some strings into the
file *individually*, which makes automated detection very hard).
