This is what I do and it works well. It uses the asterisk database so
you can define which printer the fax gets printed on and/or email
address the pdf gets mailed to.
[macro-fax]
exten => s,1,Set(FAXFILE=${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,2,Set(FAXOK=no)
exten => s,3,rxfax(/var/spool/asterisk-fax/${FAXFILE})
exten => s,4,Set(PRINTER=${DB(faxprinter/${MACRO_EXTEN})})
exten => s,5,GotoIf($["${PRINTER}" = "" ]?8)
exten => s,6,Set(FAXOK=yes)
exten => s,7,system(/usr/local/bin/printfax ${UNIQUEID} ${FAXFILE}
${PRINTER} "${CALLERIDNUM} ${CALLERIDNAME}")
exten => s,8,Set(EMAILADDR=${DB(faxemail/${MACRO_EXTEN})})
exten => s,9,GotoIf($["${EMAILADDR}" = "" ]?200)
exten => s,10,system(/usr/local/bin/mailfax ${UNIQUEID} ${FAXFILE}
${EMAILADDR} "${CALLERIDNUM} ${CALLERIDNAME}")
exten => s,11,Hangup
exten => s,108,Goto(201)
exten => s,111,Goto(201)
exten => s,200,GotoIf($["${FAXOK}" = "yes" ]?11)
exten => s,201,Set([EMAIL PROTECTED])
exten => s,202,Goto(10)
