Re: [hylafax-users] hylafax sends actual postscript text and not the tiff/f




As per the instructions I am printing to a PS driver... http://www.purpel3.nl/sambafax/ says:
On your samba client, install a new printer with a postscript driver (like an apple laserwriter 12/640 PS) to print to \\YOURSERVER\SalsaFax


Which generates a file such as follows:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: HylaFAX TextFmt Class
%%Title:
%%CreationDate: Thu Jun  3 15:50:57 2004
%%For: root
%%Origin: 0 0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Pages: (atend)
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%DocumentNeededResources: font Courier-Bold
%%EndComments
%%BeginProlog
/$printdict 50 dict def $printdict begin
/ISOLatin1Encoding where{pop save true}{false}ifelse
/ISOLatin1Encoding[
...

It then converts that file to a tiff/f and faxes 15 pages of PS so you get:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: HylaFAX TextFmt Class
%%Title:
%%CreationDate: Thu Jun  3 15:50:57 2004
%%For: root
%%Origin: 0 0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
%%Pages: (atend)
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%DocumentNeededResources: font Courier-Bold
%%EndComments
%%BeginProlog
/$printdict 50 dict def $printdict begin
/ISOLatin1Encoding where{pop save true}{false}ifelse
/ISOLatin1Encoding[
...

Which is not the text I wish... I wish the text that the PS represents.

It should convert (ps2fax) the PS code to the actual document in the form of a tiff.

Instead it sends the PS file. I am suspecting it has to do with the file name
in the line below (see trace file):


Jun 02 15:59:25.88: [ 9089]: SEND file "docq/doc16.ps;71"

   there is a:   "docq/doc16.ps" which is the PS file
   and a:  "docq/doc16.ps;71" which appears to be the tiff/f file.


I'm confused.

If docq/doc16.ps;71 is the TIFF file and if the logs say that it's sending docq/doc16.ps;71, then why do you think that it isn't sending the TIFF file?

The fact that you get an MCF signal from the remote indicates that the remote is getting TIFF data. In a non-ECM situation the receiver is required to actually decode the data it receives in order to determine if it is acceptable or not.
