Hey Guys We've been using the respond program with SMB fax services and it's worked pretty good. But I have one need which is not addressed by this software, which I'm hoping maybe I can pay someone to hack into the windows code. I need Respond to send a cover letter prior to being sent out, independent of the program queueing the print job in windows. I was thinking I might be able to put this functionalty into the printfax.pl script if I understood how SMB works better. Either way, I could use either a fix on the windows end (which I can't write) or some pointers on linux end.

What information do you need? If you are using LPRng, put a set > info_file command into your print filter and see what is in there. This will show the variables available to the shell running your print filter. You might be interested in my description of print filters. Visit the linux stepbystep page and search for filters.

Not quite sure what you want to do but... You might be able to use a preexec command to send out a cover letter before the main job is sent.
