The difficulty in accomplishing this, though, is getting the fax 
number.  There's no standardized way (even just within the Windows 
world) to submit routing information with a print job.

So, what has to be done is you have to encode the fax number within the 
text of the fax image, or you have to use a special print driver which 
will ask for the fax number when you perform the print.  And by that 
point there's no need to complicate things further, and so the print 
driver just does without the Samba thing altogether and just 
communicates directly with hfaxd.

If you're on OS X you should be able to run Pyla.
