Hi Mark,

set up a ghostscript filter to work with your printer. If you can do lpr 
-Pyour_printer some_ps_file.ps you should go and append a line like this to 
your /var/spool/fax/bin/faxrcvd:

$FAX2PS $FILE | lpr

I use $FAX2PS="tiff2ps -a", but the default of $FAX2PS=fax2ps will work to.

Good luck, Sascha
