Hi,

Thanks for your valuable advise.

First thing I've changed the client side driver of the sambafax printer
from Apple PostScript driver to HP laserjet 4/4L PS and printed a word
document containing a line with;

Fax-Nr : 04077291010

Then I changed the format of the fax number in the debug script from the
format;

FAXDEST="+49-40-77291010"

to 

FAXDEST="04077291010" 

without any spaces, dots or dashes, the debug script worked, I got a
mail, got a test fax and it seems the problem lies in ps2ascii
conversion. The debug log looks like this;

your sambafax-script has been started!
cat: -: Bad file descriptor
cat: -: Bad file descriptor
cat: -: Bad file descriptor
cat: -: Bad file descriptor

p0: /usr/lib/cups/backend/sambafax  --this is the sambafaxscript and
location
p1: 
p2:   --under cups this should be the username
p3: 
p4: 
p5: 
p6:   --under cups this is optional the sambafax temporary printfilename
p7: 
p8:

Faxnumber extracted: "".
The mailing system is tested, you (root) should receive a mail
request id is 2 (group id 2) for host localhost (1 file)
A fax is sent to 04077291010, check it out
If it does not come out, or if you see errors, you are NOT using the
correct sendfax (have you installed a different faxspooler as well?)
end-of-debuglog

Please note the fax number extracted from the file I send is not
recognised. I tried to convert sambafax.debug.ps to ascii which gives an
error;

# ps2ascii smabafax.debug.log debug.txt
GNU Gostscript 6.51: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
#

Is that something to do with driver again or there is no Gostscript
installed?


Thanks again,
Shafeer.
