The way I fax from OO was to use ./spadmin to add a new printer and set the print command to qtcups --stdin Then when I print to that printer I get a window offering all the printers known to cups including the fax pseudo printer. The setup of that printer offers a choice between hylafax and efax as a back end. I use efax, but I dont suppose hylafax is too much different. HTH derek
