- Hi there, fellow NeXT addicts !
- Is it possible to use lpr-command to send faxes from command line, like
-
- lpr -PLocal_Fax_Modem SomeFile(s) ???
-
- I'm running 3.0 pre-release 2, and I took a look at the spooled files
- dfAxxxx and cfAxxxx after a) using the Fax Panel on a file b) doing
- lpr >bla bla< the_very_same_file. Seems like the only differences in
- resulting data (PS) files are:
-
- 1. the cover page
- 2. lines starting with %NXFax...
-
- One would think there could be a reasonable way of stuffing these strings
- (containing fax number, recipients name etc.) and the cover page in.
- The reason I'm interested in this stuff is that some people still have PeeCees
- on their desks, and they wanna send faxes, too (sigh).
-
- Appreciate any responses/pointers/hints - u name it ;-) !!!
