After following several suggestions to activate the fax feature of Open Office. It still doens't work. After the initial disk installation I installed all the updates associated with the 9.1 prior to trying to utalize the KdeprintFax. I don't know if this introduced problems or not. Now I'm wondering if I should reinstall 9.1? Would I have to start by reformating the HD partition? Any suggestions I just want to be able to fax from Open Office. I don't care if it is KdeprintFax, Efax or any other software as long as it works.
I did follow Derek's suggestion below and it did get faxing to work from Kword but not Open Office.

If you are using KDE and CUPS then when you print a dialogue box appears. The drop down 'Name' selects the printer to use.
Underneath your real printers there are four 'pseudo' printers :-
"Mail PDF File" "Print to File (PDF)" "Print to File (Postscript)" "Send to Fax" (not Print to fax)
If they are not there then it is easy enough to add them. Open KDE ControlCentre>Peripherals>Printers Select Administrator mode.
Right click in the white area, select 'Add special (pseudo) printer'
In the pop up configuration box give it a name and in the 'Command Settings' box enter kdeprintfax %in
