[hylafax-users] problems with windows 2000
Tehn Yit Chin
any problems.
We use the standard Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 printer driver that comes
from Win2K. The printer is on port WHFCFAX. The WHFCFAX port is created
after installation of whfc.

uses pscript5.dll. It's the one recommended by someone somewhere for use with
Hylafax.
That's not the problem (I don't believe), because printing to file, then copying
the file to the network print device \\printserver\fax from either machine works
with the file _created_ by win95, but not with the file created by win2K.
Any other ideas?
Michael.

Try the other driver. And if doesn't work, get the latest driver from A=
pple
website. I have 2-3 users with win200 faxing without problems with whfc=
out
of the box..

Please don´t post attachments to the list.
Have a look at the WHFC Homepage http://www.transcom.de/whfc/index.html
Try to change your printer-driver settings to something like
- embedding True-Type fonts
- optimize for portability
Hope this helps

What version of ghostscript on the FAX-Server ?
What does "file" say if you copy the ps-file to the FAX-Server?
Can you rasterize the ps-file manuell with "ps2fax" on the FAX-Server?
Best regards

When you print to the whfc printer, does the whfc printer shows up on top of
the current window?
On winxp the whfc window start in the background (under all the active
windows) and you won't notice unless you know it works that way.
I only have this problem on winpx, not on win9x (never tried win2k, but once
I got an email from a win2k user having the same problem).
Thanks

I'm one of those people; I have good luck with that driver.

That makes it sound like the print driver is broken on W2K.
Make sure it's not defaulting to Level 3 Postscript somehow; I don't
thing GS will cope. Also, look for a "speed/portability" switch;
select for portability.
Cheers,

no, after i've "print" the fax to the right printer, i have to click once on
the icon of WHFC in the systemtray or if the whfc program window is on the
desktop have have to switch to this window. then i can place the faxnumber.

at the moment i can only tell my experience with win2k, mentioned here.

hello,
on Win2000 :
This seems to be the problem with somes windows specialy.I meen,
when you have Word opened (grr) and you run whfc , it will be opened in t=
he
bakground.
But, if you have Openoffice opened (ahh) and you run whfc, it will be ope=
ned
like a first and active window.
Strange, no ?
One is under license Microsoft,the second is under license GPL.
What you take ?
have a good day.
bye
Xavier.

the faxes that users sent out.
I have defined a specific printer via samba to sent out the faxes.
