Guys,
Anyone using hylafax should be aware that a bug in ghostscript 8.71 will case
hylafax to send blank pages. The following is the response from the upstream folks.
David, you using ghostscript 8.71 on that server? That's a known bug,
fixed in recent releases. Ghostscript 8.71 changed the default
"strip" size of MMR tiff, which affects what hylafax expects...
faxsend needs a "single" strip of image data to send, and with a small
strip size, gs makes multi-strip images, which come out as blank
pages.
Workarounds (any will work):
- edit $SPOOL/bin/{ps,pdf}2fax.gs, add -dMaxStripSize=0 to the GS
call, to make gs produce single-strip images
- edit $SPOOL/etc/config set Use2D:No to make faxq not prepare MMR images
Or, upgrade ;-)
