man efax-gtk-socket-client (Commandes) - a client of efax-gtk to work with lpd/lprng

NAME

efax-gtk-socket-client - a client of efax-gtk to work with lpd/lprng

SYNOPSIS

efax-gtk-socket-client [hostname] [port]

DESCRIPTION

This script is used to have efax-gtk work with lpd/lprng to be able to send faxes to a printer which will ack as a fax.

fax:

:sd=/var/spool/fax:

:mx#0: :sh:

:lp=/dev/null: :if=/var/spool/fax/efax-gtk-faxfilter:

This will cause a printer by the name of "fax" to be available, which (if printed to) will send the file to the efax-gtk socket server. If you set efax-gtk to listen on a port other than port 9900, you will need to amend the file /var/spool/fax/efax-gtk-faxfilter by hand to specify the correct port number on which efax-gtk is listening.

Don't forget to restart the lpd printer daemon after amending /etc/printcap.

OPTIONS

[ hostname ] - The name of the host to listen to. Usually should be locahlhost.

[ port ] - the port number to listen to on the [ hostname ].
