LibreOffice 3.4.3 running on Debian Squeeze can fax just fine. Go to Help and
in the Index type in the Search term faxes. You will get instructions for how
to create a fax "printer" which will send postscript to your fax program. The
information that I entered to create the fax printer ended up in
~/.libreoffice/3/user/psprint/psprint.conf . In my case,
Command=/path_to_my_script (PHONE) . When you print to the fax printer,
libreoffice puts a postscript file in /tmp . If you enter a telephone number
in the pop up box then press OK, it invokes the Command with the entered phone
number appended to the Command path and sends the postscript file on standard
input.
If you wish to save the postscript file rather than sending it to the Command,
then when the pop up appears look in /tmp (ls -lt /tmp |more). It will have a
meaningless name like hrIlj3. Copy this file to something.ps and then Cancel
printing to fax.
Since LibreOffice still has the capability of creating this postscript file, it
should be pretty easy to add a PostScript option to the Print to file filter in
addition to the PDF option it now has. The only downside is that the
postscript file is sort of large.
