Derrick, Thank you for your reply. I am grateful to know it will work!
I followed your instructions:- root cd to spadmin ./spadmin click new printer click 'Connect to Fax' click default driver Print Command qtcups --stdin Name Fax However, when I click print on OO, the print box offers Fax or Generic printer, I select Fax and a request pops up for Fax No. which is duly filled. Following this my normal Print Box opens offering 5 choices:- Epson (My printer) Mail PDF Print to file PDF Print to file PostScript Send to Fax If I click 'Send to Fax' the KDE box opens requesting the Fax No., I click send and it just hangs. The log seems to offer no clue. I do apologise for being a bit of a pain, but I do seem to be lost. Thank you for your kind trouble, Malcolm Candlish.
