Hi all,
I am running an application on Solaris 8. I want to send the output from this application as fax. To achive this i need to do add the fax as a printer on the unix machine.
I want to know is :
- What are the settings required to be done in order to make my server able to send fax
- Should i setup my fax server on Windows and map it on the unix server.
- What are the different configuration option available.
Thanks in advance

Our HP 11.11 is networked to several printers with fax capabilities.
Is it possible to send a file to be faxed by the printer?
I know that RICOH offers a Java API, but that costs 4500 for 1yr membership and 3000 every year after that.

capisuitefax
CAPISUITEFAX(1) CAPISUITEFAX(1)
NAME
capisuitefax - sending faxes with the CapiSuite default scripts
SYNOPSIS
capisuitefax [-q] [-n] [-u user] [-A adr] [-S subj] -d number file...
capisuitefax [-q] -a id
capisuitefax -h
capisuitefax -l
DESCRIPTION
The default scripts for CapiSuite come with the tool capisuitefax for sending faxes.
It will be called with some parameters telling it which file to send (it currently only supports PostScript and PDF files) and to which
number. It will then enqueue the job converted to the right format into the send queue from which it's collected by another CapiSuite
script and sent to the destination. If the sending was completed successfully or failed finally after trying for some time, the according
user will get an email telling him/her what has happened.
OPTIONS
-a id Abort the job with the given id. To get a job id, use the -l option.
-A adr The addressee of the fax. This option is (currently) only for informational purposes and will be quoted in the sent status mail.
-d number
The number which should be called (destination of the fax)
-h Show a short commandline help
-l Shows the jobs which are currently in the send queue.
-n Don't use the configured dial prefix for this job. Useful for internal jobs.
-q Be quiet, don't output informational messages
-S subj
A subject for the fax. This option is (currently) only for informational purposes and will be quoted in the sent status mail.
-u user
Send fax as another user. Only allowed if capisuitefax is called as user root. This is mainly helpful for realizing extensions to
e.g. do network faxing.
file...
One or more PostScript/PDF files to send to this destination. More than one PostScript file will produce several separate fax jobs.
