  12. I'm having a problem with printing incoming faxes.
  13. I wrote a script to use the log file that faxspooler sends via e-mail to
  14. automatically print the g3 file.  My problem comes when I convert the
  15. g3 file to Sun rasterfile or PostScript.  If I convert to rasterfile, then
  16. the fax'd data is at 196x196 dpi resolution... when printed at 300 dpi it is
  17. only 1/4 of the page up in the left corner.  When I convert to PostScript, then
  18. the data is also too small.  I've tried the following conversions.
  19.  
  20. g3topbm | pbmtorast | lpr                         (too small)
  21. g3topbm | pgmtops | lpr                             (too small)
  22. g3topbm | pgmtops -scale .3| lpr               (too wide, not enough height)
  23. g3topbm | ppmscale -width 600 -height 825 - | ppmtorast | lpr        (too blurry)
  24.  
  25.  
  26. Does anybody have a program which will rescale a g3 fax file to full page?  
  27. I have the option of printing to a Laserwriter NT or Sun SPARCprinter.
