Printing cover pages via WHFC 1.0.6??? Does This Not Work?
Is there any version of WHFC available which will print cover pages?
If not, is there an anticipated data when a version will be available?
Thank you.

My Config:
RH 6.1 (no Updates Applied)
220 twgrh1 server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1beta1) ready.
WHFC Client 1.0.6
WHFC printer driver is Apple Laser Writer 16/1600 PS
When I use sendfax, I send a fax AND a cover page. Works great!
When I attempt to send a fax (with *no* cover page) using WHFC client
(1.0.6) via either the 'Printer driver' or directly from the fax icon in
WHFC, it works great!
However, if I attempt to send a fax using WHFC client (1.0.6) via either
the 'Printer driver' or directly from the fax icon in WHFC, AND request a
cover page, it does not send.
I noticed the main difference is that the faxcover.ps is an EPS file, while
the actual files I'm faxing are standard postscript. It seems a conversion
from EPS to postscript is missing / not recognized properly (not being
done?) on the *same* coverpage when using the WHFC client.

Has anyone run into this problem? If so, what's needed to fix this

Hi,
add the following fragment at the beginning of your cover page :
/IS {
dup where {
pop
load dup nullstring ne {S} {pop} ifelse
} {pop} ifelse
} bind def
/M { moveto } bind def
/S { show } bind def
and also don't use the comment1() to commentx() lines, use only the
comment() macro.
But i would recomment to wait untill the next release is out. But this
can take some time, because i have to write something that's called
a port monitor for the problems with Windows 95 and problems when
sending
large faxes with the fax printer feature.
