[Bug 392794] New: Hylafax: return of sent faxes in tiff format
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392794 Summary: Hylafax: return of sent faxes in tiff format Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: noelamac@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- openSUSE 10.3, hylafax 4.4.0. I want to get a copy of all sent faxes in tiff format. "man notify" says: *** (...) RETURNFILETYPE can be set to ``tif'', ``pdf'', ``ps'', or ``original''. If set, this causes notify to return a copy of the submitted documents to the SENDER address along with the notification message. The ``original'' setting uses the format type that was used in the submission. Multiple values may be specified by separating them with whitespace. In that case a sepa- rate attachment is created for each filetype. *** If I set this variable to "pdf" (RETURNFILETYPE=pdf) I get a copy of the sent fax in pdf, no problems with this. But when I set this variable to "tif" (as per man page, RETURNFILETYPE=tif) I get no attachment to the notify e-mail, just the e-mail itself. May be am I missing any tiff package library here so the conversion cannot be done or any path to binaries related problem? :-? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

hello, could you try send output of "rpm -qa|grep -i tiff" ?
linux:~ # rpm -qa | grep -i tiff libtiff3-3.8.2-68 tiff-3.8.2-68
Maybe you don't have libtiff installed.
It seems there. When a new fax arrives, it is attached as tiff along with the e-mail notificacion. The problem seems to be only when requesting a copy of the sent fax in tiff format :-? Can you reproduce (confirm) this behaviour on your side? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What does the original format of the document you sent be ?
My users (windows an suse boxes) are sending faxes in two ways: a) sambafax script (cups backend). This allows them to send a fax virtually from any document (text files, ooo files, doc files, pdf files...) just by using the Fax printer b) By using a java client and mainly, pdf files. IIRC, I tested both a) and b) with the same result, but I can perform any test you wish (command line "sendfax", sending plain text files, etc...) just tell me :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please try the following to see what parameter it has (RETURNFILETYPE=tif should be set): edit /var/spool/fax/bin/common-functions and insert following line on the beginning of the ConvertFile () function (around line 568):
echo "1=$1 2=$2 3=$3" >>/tmp/testlog
send a fax and post /tmp/testlog here.
Done. 1=docq/doc66.ps 2=PostScript 3=tif -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Created an attachment (id=220910) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=220910) [details] fix for hylafax
OK I found the reason, seems that some scripts did not update the parameters to the new converter scripts. You can patch /var/spool/fax/bin/common-functions.sh directely with this patch. I'll try to get this fixed in the 11.0 version.
O.k. sir. It works :-) I just have tested to send a fax with the new lines applied and I get a tiff file of the sent fax, as expected.
