Whell, honest I don't know what else to tell you.
Here follows my sambafax scrip that works perfectly well with LPR and
portability optimized postscript on a HP4 PS driver. I use it everyday
for a long time.
Hope this helps.

scanningFax-Nr


Hi,

I tried that as well. But now my problem is when I print the document
from a client software (mentioned earlier - Sage KHK), I canot see any
text like a fax number, but I can open the file in gostveiew. may be I
have to use some other filters? Is there any other way to get the fax
number from the client software that send the fax?

Thanks in advance,

-Shafeer
