Topic: Auto Print - Hylafax

[Don Martin]

Hi,
I have searched the forums for autoprinting a received fax with not much luck. I have looked at hylafax.org and tried adding
$FAX2PS -H 10.5 -S $FILE | lpr -Plz1 –v
to my raxrcvd script.   This also did not work!

I currently use the faxrcvd script written by Noel Burton-Krahn dated Sept 4, 1999 to email the fax as a .pdf attachment, but cannot get any received faxes to automatically print to my network printer setup on the e-smith server.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Don

Have you tried sending a test PostScript file to the lz1 queue to see what it does? I.e.
lpr -Plz1 test.ps
If that works, post more details about the faxrcvd script for further troubleshooting. If it doesn't work, you'll need to fix your printer setup first.

Hmm..  Thanks Robert...
Tried lpr -Plz1 /usr/share/fax/faxcover.ps

I get the following error...

 sending job 'root@server+875' to lz1@localhost
 connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
 connected to 'localhost'
 requesting printer lz1@localhost
 job 'root@server+875' transfer to lz1@localhost failed
  error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL'
  sending str '^Blz1' to lz1@localhost
 error msg: 'spool queue for 'lz1' does not exist

I have setup the printer on my server using the server-manager, do I also need to add my printer to another configuration file?

Thanks for your help!
Don.

Please excuse the silly question, but does a spool queue actually exist for lz1? (should be in /var/spool/lpd/lz1, I suppose).
