Re: [hylafax-users] How-to configure the HylaFAX server to accept remote prints



Hi Jim,
We have been using DGUX and hylafax for about 4 years using fax/mail
gateways. This is simple and should not require any upgrades. This uses
sendmail to pass the job onto the hylafax server and visa versa.
Basically on your DG box you define a printer and then in the printer
interface script change this to just do:
echo "$@" | {
      read job user f1 priority phone file
eval $phone
eval $priority
      {
	cat $file
      } | /usr/bin/mailx -s "$phone $priority" hylafax@hyla
<mailto:hylafax@hyla> 
   }

exit_code=0
exit

In /etc/hosts you need to tell the DG where to find your hyla (linux)

Set up a user hylafax on hyla as per normal .

In /etc/aliases on hyla set up the following redirects:
# Person who should get root's mail. I use this to send back to 
#DG the failed faxes.                   
root:           |some_script_to_format_the_return_mail_from_hylafax
faxfail:        a_valid_user_on_DG

# alias for notification messages from HylaFAX servers 
FaxMaster:      root                                   
hylafax:        |script_to_format_the_fax_and_call_sendfax         

Don't forget to run newaliases.
You may need to edit sendmail.cf (if you don't have experience in this then
be careful).
This is a quick overview but should get you started.

to accept remote prints

	Hello,

	I've got Hylafax working on a Red Hat 6.2 box and want to send print
jobs
	from an old DG/UX box.  I cannot find details on that anywhere and
none of
	the clinets I've found can compile.  The box is very stable and I'd
rather
	just send print jobs from it rather than upgrading a bunch of
things.

	The '5.7 Faxing via IBM AS/400 ' article mentions;

	...you can send facsimiles as print jobs to the HylaFAX server. To
do this,
	some things have to be done: create an output queue, enable lpr
support,
	configure the HylaFAX server to accept remote prints...
	How do you configure the HylaFAX server to accept those remote
prints.
	Many thanks in advance, it's probably documented, but I can't seem
to find
	it.
	Jim
