=>Hi,
=>just to show the complexity of this field:
=>
=>you are probably right stating postscript is postscript, but there
=>are more ways to print a line in postscript:
=>one way is to tell the position, font and fontsize for the complete
=>line, 
=>which is the way you need to find the number and parse it from the file,
=>and the other way is to place every single character of the text itself,
=>which leads to an nearly unparsable postscriptfile,
=>and the third way which i've found in postscriptfiles produced by
=>windows is to rasterize the text and put the imagedata in the
=>postscriptfile,
=>which makes parsing completly impossible.
=>Which of these possibiltis you find depends on the program and the 
=>printerdriver, sometimes you even find a mixture of those posibilities 
=>in one file......

Fax-Nr : ddd-ddddddd
Must the document be postscript?
What if I put Fax-Nr : 222636 on the first line of a ascii document then
do a crazy thing like cat doc_name | lpr -Pfaxlp ???
