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.

How would you like it if you decided to start paying your bills in cash, and your power company shut you off because they assumed you would always pay by credit card, and they made no provision for accepting cash or checks, so when you switched to cash, they told all the credit agencies and their collections department "he stopped paying and is delinquent"? -- bkw

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 ;-)
