Hallo! I have a small question. I wanted to improve Samba-faxing. The system shown in the HOWTO does not include the nice features a faxing-program like Winfax offer. Chain-fax, adressbook and much more. So I began to write a series of scripts to manipulate the incoming fax to send. The text should have all the command on the 1st page. My scripts split the text in two parts: 1st page and pages 2-end. Then the 1st page is parsed for commands like the fax-numbers to send the fax to. The filtered numbers are then put one by one on top of the faxsheet (?), prepared before with several placeholders/variables. For each faxnumber on the command-page an own faxsheet is created, cutted with the 2-end pages and saved as an own PS-file. That works quite fine, I only need to throw the fax in the sendfax-spool. But there is a small problem when I wanted to print a page with some graphical data in the headline (like the company-logo). I insert the logo in the headline in Word or Staroffice as a GIF/BMP (no matter). The original PS-file can be shown quite well. But when my scripts are ready, the PS file cannot be displayed because of an error in the middle of the graphic-data (so the offending offset gsview reports). As I tried out what it could be, I notice the scripts work fine with the cliparts (WMF?) Word wa shipped with. And a GIF or BMP in the middle of the text is no problem also. Now, where/what is the problem (I have it, but I did not localize it yet)? How can I solve it? thx! Ludwig

First of all, we are Samba users, and this question has nothing to do with Samba. It has everything to do with file formats and PostScript. Second, we do not have a clue how your scripts work or what your PostScript files look like. We have no idea what software you are using for sending the FAX. While I think we might assume it is using Ghostscript as its frontend, we don't know how Ghostscript is being invoked or even what version you are using. The first point is the more important of the two. In short, your post was offtopic. Peter
