The problem is in CUPS, although there might be a missing parameter in hylafax.ppd that would correct it. I've captured the Postscript file that's generated before sendfax is called, and it's garbage if the file queued was a text file. CUPS is calling 'texttops' and 'pstops' (see the log file /var/log/cups/error_log). I plan to look into this, but it might be several days before I can get to it. If you find out anything, please let me know. Thanks.
