Re: [hylafax-users] problem sending (converting to TIFF?)

["Andrew Gingery" <gingerya@ohsu.edu>]

the sendfax syntax I can get to work is like this:

/usr/local/bin/sendfax -n -l ttyS1 42488 /etc/hosts

sendfax then dials the phone number and connects to the other fax machine, BUT then it says, "Are you sure this is a G3 fax file, Doesn't seem to be"

The man page clearly states that sendfax passes PS and TIFF files to the fax server for transmission and converts text-type files. So why is it wanting G3 format files on the command line?
--
I've just re-installed ghostscript. verifying all the proper types are supported. I've re-configured, make'd and make installed, faxsetup and faxaddmodemed hylafax over again from scratch, trying to make sure that it knows where my GS stuff is. It seems to have it right. I was able to use ps2fax.gs to convert a PS file I got from my windows printer driver into whatever format it convers to.

sendfax won't sent the PS, won't sned the ps.fax output from ps2fax, nor will it send just plain text.

WTF?

Something like that, yeah.

Did you run faxsetup?  (I assume you couldn't get this far without it.)

Do this:

textfmt /etc/hosts >/dev/null

send the output

(you may need to specify the path to textfmt)
