Hi all,

I am using the FaxStartPrintJob exported from winfax.dll. I am
able to send fax in the local computer. but, i am unable to send fax if
i specify it like


FaxStartPrintJob('\\machineName\PrinterName',PrintInfo, dwJobId,
PContextInfo)


If i use nil or '\\LocalMachineName\PrinterName' also it is working
fine. But, when i use the fax printer in the network, i am getting the
error 'Invalid Printer name'.


I also tried sending the fax using the TPrintDialog. when the dialog is
executed, i can see the network fax printer as \\servername\printername
, if i select that and click OK, the wizard opens and after specifying
the number and details, fax is sent. Even i tried with getting the
printer name using the WinSpool function GetPrinter which will return
the printer name and driver details, but no use. Any help is most
welcome. While fax is going nicely from the applications like notepad
and word to the Fax printer on the server.


Thanks in advance.


regards,
Rahul.
