Hi Niko,
That is just the thing. I could not find a log with anything
pertaining to the problem in it.
If it helps, I have /usr/bin/sendfax set up through sudo
such that a regular user can and do send fax'es. (This is
required by the "man fax4CUPS" manual page.)
I am really frustrated.
Thank you for the help,
-T
