- I have a severe problem with what is actually happening here. GPFax works
- fine with all software we have tested it with. The problem seems to be with
- Final Copy. After all, all we do is effectively re-direct the PRT: output
- to a disk file!
-
- Can anyone add anything more in regard to this problem.

-
- With Pagestream you simply select Preferences.driver and GPFax intercepts
- the output correctly.

-
- Outputting as IFF is exactly the wrong method to use. The quality from the
- printer.device is so much better.
