No need to restart anything, the typerules file is reread everytime you
submit
a fax to sendfax.

Two things to try.

1. Check that your html2ps is installed properly and you are calling it
correctly
   by running it on the command line.

2. The beginning of html files can vary a lot; have a look at the first line
in your
   test html file and ensure that the rules you have added to typerules will
match.

Please let us know how you get on.
