I have set up hylafax and am about ready to deploy it.
For now, we are going to print all incoming faxes on a shared printer on the
network. I would like to have something like, “Linux Fax Server”
printed at the top of each fax. We don’t want users getting
confused about what they printed and what has come in as a fax. I’ve
found that this is not a feature of hylafax, as the header string is passed
from the sending fax machine. I was wondering if anyone has found a way
to do this anyway. I have the following set up in my faxrcvd script: /usr/local/bin/tiff2ps -a $FILE | lpr –Pmain-printer || \
/usr/local/bin/tiff2ps -a $FILE | lpr –Pbackup-printer || \
mutt -s "ERROR Printing" admin-email < $ERRORFILE cp $FILE /mnt/newfaxes || (cp $FILE /lostfaxes && \
mutt -s "ERROR copying" admin-email < $ERRORFILE2) I have tried sending tiff2ps first to “pr,” but that doesn’t
work because it isn’t an ascii file. I tried Echo “Linux Fax Server” > lpr && tiff2ps …etc This printed “Linux Fax Server” all by itself, and then
printed the fax normally on the next page. Is there a way to have them
print on the same page? First print “Linux Fax Server” and
then print the fax on top of it on the same page? I just need some kind
of a way to differentiate a fax from a user printed document. Thanks, Jim |
