Chapter 8: Customizing OpenOffice.org

Sending Faxes and Configuring OpenOffice.org for Faxing

To send a fax directly from OpenOffice.org, both a fax modem and a fax driver that allows

applications to communicate with the fax modem must be installed as they would with a

printer.

Creating a LAN Friendly Faxing Solution under Linux

1. Install fax software such as mgetty or sendfax. Don't forget to run faxrunq as a

cron job.

2. Test by sending a postscript file to someone.

3. Install fax4CUPS (assuming CUPS is the printer control software. If not, consider it.)

4. Make a printer in CUPS following the fax4CUPS instructions which points to mgetty.

5. Test by sending a postscript file to someone as a non-root user with

lpr -P printername -o "phone=faxnumber" filename

(if it doesn't work, try it as root. If that works, try changing the permissions on the cups

spool directory)

6. test the same lpr command from another machine on the LAN. This should work if

CUPS browsing is enabled

7. find and run spadmin as root.

a) Create a new fax type printer. Current versions of OpenOffice.org may not allow

reconfiguring the printer properties as a OpenOffice.org fax device, in that case just use

a different printer name.

b) Use the command lpr -P printername -o "phone=(PHONE)"

c) do the test page in spadmin. A fax number prompt should pop up.

8. try printing to the fax printer in Writer .. should work

9. info about making a fax toolbar button appear is in the Writer help file

10.info about inserting the fax number in the Writer document is in the Writer Help file

Done. A fax out solution for OpenOffice.org that doesn't require anything on the Linux

workstation except for CUPS which should be available in any case.

Go and vote for the OpenOffice.org feature request for doing the spadmin steps

automagically at http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=49980 (if they do that then

the workstation requires no configuration at all. It'll all be done through CUPS auto-

browsing)

Creating a LAN Friendly Faxing Solution under Windows

While Windows

does not use CUPS, printer management is similar and the steps outlined

for Linux should enable one to configure a Fax printer in a similar manner. Remember to test

at each stage.
