Re: [hylafax-users] Windows Client and coversheets

[Bill Tillman <btillman99@xxxxxxxxx>]

I fought with the same issue. WHFC wasn't that great but it worked, WinPrint was okay but again the lack of a decent cover page was a pain. The client offered by iFax is terrific but you have to shell out $ for it. It's reasonably priced but in today's tight budget environment, trying to get the boss to shell out $35 per seat for something only a few people used was not popular.

 

So I came up with the best of iFax client and WinPrint. This takes an extra step in printing but it works and it's free. I installed the fax service component and WinPrint HylaFAX on the windows workstation. When I want to send a fax I use the fax printer and then just before it prints, you are given the choice to preview the fax. I choose this and then print the preview through the WinPrint HylaFAX client. This will send a nice cover sheet with all the fields filled in properly and no need to redesign.
