[hylafax-users] Sambafax problems



I'm running RH 7.0 and I've set up sambafax.I'm using LPRnG. I've followed
the directions closely. I can do a sendfax and it works great. Here's the
problem:
From my Win client I print to my Apple Postscript driver, I do a
faxstat -d -i -l -s and I see that the fax made it there but it doesn't fax
and it won't let me remove the job with a faxrm (id).
Here's what faxstat gives me:
Hylafax scheduler on HYLA:  Running
Modem ttyS1 (xxx.xxx.xxxx): Running and idle

JID  Pri   S  Owner   Number        Pages  Dials    TTS Status
4     127 W         lp  95551212      0:0       0:12

Attatched are my smb.conf, sambafax and printcap.Also sambafax is
executable.
I'd really apreciate any ideas. Thanks.
