I want to edit a text file. When I try to save the file, I receive an error message.
Open the text editor by a superuser.
Example 1: Get the superuser authorization by "su" command. And run "gedit (filename)"
Example 2: Run "sudo gedit (filename)"
I'm using Gentoo Linux and I receive the following error message: "Filter "brfaxfilter" for printer "BRFAX" not available: No such file or directory" .
When you use BRFAX in a Gentoo Environment, make a symbolic link to
" /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brfaxfilter" after the driver installation.
Command example (Type the whole command as a single line before hitting enter):
# ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/brfaxfilter
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/brfaxfilter
I cannot find the section to enter the BRFAX command in my application.
After the driver installation, you will have a printer called "BRFAX." This printer is NOT used to print faxes directly. Instead, this printer is used by the " brpcfax" utility.
To actually send a fax, you must use the "brpcfax" utility to process your print jobs. Some programs (like the old Mozilla default installation) allow you to specify the print program, in which case you can specify "brpcfax" (in place of lpr for example).
This is NOT possible with most current applications including Firefox and Openoffice as distributed in popular distributions.
Example; To print to fax (openSUSE 10.1)
1) Use "Print to file" from your application to generate a postscript file.
2) Right-click the file and select "Open with" using the executable "SendAsFax"
command configured below.
Configure Konqueror to have an option to Open postscript files with brpcfax
1. Open Konqueror.
2. Select "Settings" -> "Configure Konqueror".
3. Click "File Associations".
4. Type "ps" in the search box and select "Application" -> "Postscript" from
the list below.
5. Click "add" and type "brpcfax" then click OK.
6. Click the new "brpcfax" option and click "Edit".
7. Select the "Application" tab.
8. For the "Command:" line, enter: brpcfax -P BRFAX -o Paper=Letter
9. For the "Name:' enter: SendAsFax
10. Click OK to save
When I try to send a PC-FAX, the paper is printed out instead of sending the FAX.
Please check your BRFAX's driver setting, please select "Brother BRMFCFAX for CUPS(en)" for the driver of your BRFAX.(BRFAX with cups)
1. Open the CUPS web interface http://localhost:631/printers
2. Click "Modify Printer" of "BRFAX" and select the following driver for your BRFAX on Model/Driver menu. "Brother BRMFCFAX for CUPS(en)"
When using the PC-FAX feature, can you get the fax transmission report digitally?
The current driver does not support this feature.. But it is easy to remodel the driver to add the function, if you have knowledge of the Linux command and B-shell.
/usr/local/BrotherlpdfilterBRFAX is a program written in B-shell(BASH).
If the $result is NOT 0 and is lower than 50 at line 272 of this file, the sending of the FAX has been successful .
And if $result is another value ,the sending of the FAX has failed.
So you can insert the scripts as follows.
if [ "$result" = "0" ] || [ "$result" -gt "50" ];then
(please insert the script you want to do when
sending fax is complete successfully.)
else
(please insert the script you want to do when
sending fax is failed.)
fi
The name of the postscript file you sent is stored in $INPUT_TEMP_PS .
So you can get the PDF file of the image you send with the ps2pdf command.
You can publicly release the driver you remodeled under the GPL licence.
You do not need to notify Brother.
