- Ok in 3.0 you can put the following in your postscript file:
- %%NXFaxVersion: 300
- %%NXFaxNumber: 6172586264
- %%NXFaxTo: Pascal Chesnais
- %%NXFaxNotify: YES
- %%NXFaxHires: YES
- %%NXFaxTrim: YES
- %%NXNextStepVersion: 3.0
-
- then you can use lpr -PLocal_Fax_modem mypostscript.ps
-
- Of course you need to put the right phone number...
-
- I do not know if this works in 2.x... I snarfed this from preview.app...
- I assume you know how to set up printers/modems for remote access
- (/etc/hosts.lpd)
