This is - needed for creating the small header line on each page. - Notes on pbmplus: - Some peoples had problems with precompiled binaries (especially - at linux) with a shared lib libgr.so.x.x. The better way is - to fetch the source and compile it. One needs only pbmtext for - generating the small line on top of each page /faxheader). Install - only the individual programs you need. If you install the full - package then install pbmplus first and then mgetty+sendfax, because - this package has some changed programs by itself (but not pbmtext). - - make sure your ghostscript is functional. You need fonts ! - I prefer these from the OS/2 disks - - prepare your faxheader - /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/faxheader - - edit your /etc/printcap file: - -# FAX -lp3|fax:\ - :lp=/dev/null:\ - :sd=/usr/spool/lp3:\ - :if=/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/faxfilter:sh:sf:mx#0:\ - :lf=/usr/spool/lp3/fax-log: - - - - - edit your /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf - - so you have a smb based printer named "fax" - - -The final step: -=============== - - Now you have a printer called "fax" which can be used via - TCP/IP-printing (lpd-system) or via SAMBA (windows printing). - - On every system you are able to produce postscript-files you - are ready to fax. - - On Windows 3.1 95 and NT: - - Install a printer wich produces postscript output, - e.g. apple laserwriter - - connect the "fax" to your printer - - - Now write your first fax. Use your favourite wordprocessor, - write, winword, notepad or whatever you want, and start - with the headerpage. - - Usually each fax has a header page. It carries your name, - your address, your phone/fax-number. - - It carries also the recipient, his address and his *** fax - number ***. Now here is the trick: - - Use the text: - Fax-Nr: 123456789 - as the recipients fax-number. Make sure this text does not - occur in regular text ! Make sure this text is not broken - by formatting information, e.g. format it as a single entity. - (Windows Write and Win95 Wordpad are functional, maybe newer - versions of Winword are breaking formatting information). - - The trick is that postscript output is human readable and - the faxfilter program scans the text for this pattern and - uses the found number as the fax-destination-number. - - Now print your fax through the fax-printer and it will be - queued for later transmission. Use faxrunq for sending the - queue out. - - Notes of SAMBA smb.conf: - Simply use fall through from the samba printer to the unix - printer. Sample: - - - printcap name = /etc/printcap - print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r -P %p %s - lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P %p - lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P %p %j - - -[fax] - comment = FAX (mgetty+sendfax) - path = /tmp - printable = yes - public = yes - writable = no - create mode = 0700 - browseable = yes - guest ok = no - - - |
