Re: [SOLVED] How to fax on Arch?

Here is a PKGBUILD for the brother pc fax, it installs fine, but I can not test it further. I did not add automatic fax configuration, so you have to manually call lpadmin or maybe use the cups web interface.

## after installation install fax with e.g.
## lpinfo -v

I am wondering if there is indeed a permissions problem with the hylafax directory. The fact that no log files are being created there makes me think that hylafax can't write to the location.
What would be the fix for that?

}

Maybe I made a noob mistake when installing this.
I saved it as a file, made it executable, typed sudo in a terminal, and then dragged the file into the terminal.
What was the right way to do it??

Re: [SOLVED] How to fax on Arch?

uucp has access to all relevant paths there.

Sanity check: the number you're faxing to - is that one you control or might you end up already spamming some innocent elderly person here? tongue

Here is a PKGBUILD for the brother pc fax, it installs fine, but I can not test it further. I did not add automatic fax configuration, so you have to manually call lpadmin or maybe use the cups web interface.

Can confirm that the PKGBUILD installs and using the URL of my Brother MFC-J985DW and the lpadmin command embedded in the PKGBUILD results in BRFAX appearing as an available printer in the CUPS web interface.

Now where the hell did I put that RJ11…

okay, did that and now the fax driver clearly appears in print settings. cool.

The fax number I used is my own fax2email number.

I will try out the BRFAX when my phone line frees up.

UPDATE: yeah, the faxing works. @progandy thanks a million!

try "sendfax -vv …" for maximum verbosity.

So it turns out that faxgetty does need to be running for the faxes to get out of the queue and actually send.
The command that worked for me was
faxgetty -D ttyACM0

I got on the hylafax-users mailing list at SourceForge, and that gave me the missing bits of info I needed.
Here's the message:

Me: It still doesn't send... Maybe I am not starting faxgetty correctly? See output below.
I tried running
/usr/sbin/faxgetty
But it says the command is not found.

Or maybe the config file for my USR Robotics USB fax modem is not configured right? The config is in the first post.

sudo faxgetty
[sudo] password for shmuel: 
shmuel@shmuel-arch ~ [255]> faxstat
HylaFAX scheduler on shmuel-arch: Running
shmuel@shmuel-arch ~> sendfax -d "0774701585" /mnt/4C74491474490266/Users/S
hmuel/Downloads/FAX/*
request id is 11 (group id 11) for host localhost (1 file)

Lee: So, you're not running it correctly.

I'm not sure where your installation put faxgetty, but apparently it's not in /usr/sbin/.  If you installed from source code it's probably in /usr/local/sbin/.

Try running 'which faxgetty' to locate faxgetty.  You may also use the "locate" and "find" commands, but based on your comments already, I'm going to guess that you will have trouble using those without more explicit instructions.

Anyway, I'm guessing that you can resolve your problem by running:

faxgetty -D <devid>

... where "<devid>" is your modem device... possibly ttyS0 or ttyACM0 or ttyUSB0... so the command would look like this

faxgetty -D ttyS0

... or ...

faxgetty -D ttyACM0

... or ...

faxgetty -D ttyUSB0

Thanks,

Lee.

Unless you object, I may submit your PKGBUILD to the AUR. Naturally, I will credit you in comments to the PKGBUILD.

Glad to hear I am not alone.

I am now using the hylafax client YajHFC, from AUR. It works. The only thing I can't do with it is email-to-fax. Avantfax from AUR says it can do it, but the build fails, due to GPG keys. If you have any idea how to do email-to-fax...

Tried it. Very buggy, if you can even get it to install. The AUR version fails to build, but you can do it by downloading the source code.
