Hi folks, Archlinux 86_64 2007-08-2 (as workstation) Evolution - mail client GNOME desktop Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (as mail server) Postfix - mail server HylaFax server I'm prepared to setup following faxing service on Archlinux; 1) Send fax direct on application, such as OOo, gedit, etc., with print command. It is similar to Symantic WinFax on Windows working as a Windows printer. 2) Email to fax Send fax as email via HylaFax server on Ubuntu. Fax will be saved as .pdf/.tiff format and attached to the email to dispatch. The email body will be the cover page. But I can't figure out how to achieve my goal. Could you please shed me some light. TIA 1) Send fax direct on application I found "WinPrint HylaFax" which is a suitable application for this purpose. https://sourceforge.net/projects/winprinthylafax/ But it runs on Windows. I don't consider running it on "wine" (I have no idea whether it runs on "wine" or not) Then I found gfax; http://www.cowlug.org/gfax/ I don't know whether it can achieve my goal - "send fax direct on application with "Print"? Any other suggestion? Do I still need installing HylaFax on Archlinux? 2) Email to fax Do I need install HylaFax on Archlinux? OR make use of the Ubuntu mail server for its dispatch? Thanks B.R. satimis
Hylafax actually runs on linux and turns a linux server into a full Fax machine, I set one up here and installed a windows printer on windows clients, a linux printer on the linux machines. The hylafax server itself sends out emails to different group boxes based on rules I set up. more info can be found on hylafax.org including configuration examples. like http://www.ifax.com/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_download/gid,7/Itemid,97/ *edit, misread your message. there should be a cups printer for hylafax which makes it avail to any app. but cant find it atm
