 Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 4:45 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] HylaFax : set default paper size |
 |
|
All my incoming faxes are all received as "Size: North American Letter".
Wth do I set the default paper size to "DIN A4" instead of "North American Letter" ?
Sorry - I've been searching my eyes blurred ...
a)
Sure: there is a .configure option when building the HylaFAx package manually -
e.g.: "Default page size [North American Letter]? A4" -
but unfortunately, I could not identify any use flag dedicated to this 
My suggestion:
- - - > Open an "enhancement" bug for a USE flag for local default paper size ?
b)
/usr/share/cups/model/hylafax.ppd already reflects A4 as being the default -
but this is not involved when printing outside of cups

I've never used hylafax, but a quick google of "site:hylafax.org paper size" seems to say there's a "/usr/share/fax/papersizes" file that might be what you want
good luck |

Nope. Unfortunately, there is none at all.
There is a description in http://www.hylafax.org/content/FAQ#Configuration_Parameters :
| Quote: | PAGESIZE
The default page size that client applications will use for submitted facsimile. Page sizes are specified by name and checked against the pagesizes database installed in the DIR_LIBDATA directory. See also [man/pagesizes.html pagesizes(4F)]. |
But that defenitely applies to the .config procedure before (manually) compiling the source.
-
Another thought:
Perhaps I am being catched by my analoge FAX which I am using to test the setup -
it might be "lying" about the size it is sending ? |

| Hmm, it's possible maybe, but you would think hylafax would be smart enough to scale things to fit on the paper you've got. |

[ SOLVED ] :
For Gentoo, the relevant file naturally resides in
| Code: | | /usr/lib/fax/pagesizes |
with lib -> lib64 on 64-bit-systems.
Just modify the !_last_! entry ( because of 'inverse search' ) beginning with "default" to suit your needs 
I should have realized that a little bit earlier ...  |
