That seems to be for an older version of openoffice since it includes a workaround to print to cups devices and I can see all my cups printers without using the workaround In fact, I can create a new fax printer in spadmin and successfully send a fax, but since fax4CUPS creates a cups entry for the fax device, I'd like to get the CUPS one to work rather than add a second printer entry and have two listed (one of which doesn't work) In spadmin I can change the CUPS printer properties to a fax type. I can also add text into the "command" box. But when I exit spadmin and restart it, the command box is blank. I've been told by someone that they can save a command added in spadmin to a CUPS device but it would be good if someone else could confirm. I've upgraded to 1.1.4 on another machine and I can't see any CUPS printers in spadmin on that one. I think the fax4CUPS system provides a very usable solution for a LAN environment since faxmodems on other machines can be used via cups ipp printing and fax4CUPS. Also, the web gui provides a useful spool view for users. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
