I tried to send a fax using hp-sendfax with my Officejet 7210
from Fedora 7 and they appear to be sent fine, but the received
faxes are of very poor quality. They look like an edge detection
algorithm was run on them because large block letters
have only edges. So far, the only faxes I've tried to send
were jpg files scanned in from the same Officejet. The jpg
files look fine before being faxed but are unacceptable
on the other end. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Attached is the output of hp-check -t .
Thanks,
David
