Hello Listers,
i have some questions to efax.
I have downloaded efax 0.9 and compiled it. If i run "fax " it
works well.
But now i want to set up efax as fax-server.
I have done the following steps, discribed in the man page
of efax:
ln /usr/bin/fax /usr/bin/faxlpr
mkdir /var/spool/fax
chmod 777 /var/spool/fax
touch /var/spool/fax/lock ; chmod 644 /var/spool/fax/lock
chmod 1777 /var/lock
Than i add the following lines to the printcab file:
fax:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/fax:\
:if=/usr/bin/faxlpr:
But if i type
lpr -P fax -J "97511" testfax.txt
I become a error message that the printer "fax" does not exist.
If i look lpc status, the fax printer exists, but at the end is a message
that there is no daemon.
Any idea?
The lpd is starting via booting.
