Re: [hylafax-users] Auto Printing Only Prints First Page of Fax

[Frank Griffith <glassdude45@xxxxxxxxx>]

Turns out that at least for now it was a limit of the file size allowed by lpr.

 

I could use this command:

 

   tiff2ps -a2 $FILE | lpr

 

and it will work but it prints a copy with a gray tint all over the whole page. The fax was readable but this gray background was ugly and used more toner than neccessary. When I ran this command from the command line

 

   tiff2ps -a fax00035.tif | lpr

 

it would only print one page but then echo the error message:

 

   copy file too large

 

The /var partition on my machine is 5GB so I knew it had to be something else. A quick yahoo search of that error message came up with the fix. Turns out I need

 

    :mx#0:\

 

added to the /etc/printcap file

 

That at least fixed the problem from the command line. Now to see if it works once a multi-page fax is received. Strange how the -a2 switch did not have this problem but the the -a switch did.
