[cups.general] Fax PDE issue

[Arvind Nayak]

Thanks  Michael. I had posted the query and still waiting for the reply. If I remove the *cupsFax then, "Fax Information" panel won't be selected by default in the print dialog. Instead application specific PDE(ex: TextEdit) will be selected as default pane. My requirement is to select "Fax Information" panel as default when ever user chooses "Fax queue" from the print dialog.

Thanks
Arvind.

Greetings!

I am working on a fax driver. I am using OS supported fax PDE, i.e I have set *cupsFax" as true. By doing so "Fax Information" panel is selected by default when ever I select the fax queue. OS supported panel has limited feature, so I would like to use custom "Fax Information" panel.

I tried to override this using custom PDE of kind kPMFaxCoverPagePDEKindID. But this is not working as expected, instead a new PDE gets listed in the print dialog. But if I override kPMFaxModemPDEKindID then the "Fax Modem" panel gets overridden with new panel mentioned in the PDE. 

It would be great if anyone can point me to some kind of documentation to resolve this issue. I would like know if we can override "Fax Information" panel provided by OS.

Try posting this question to the Apple printing list:

I *think* the answer is to remove the cupsFax keyword from your PPD,
but perhaps one of the other Apple engineers will have a better
answer for you...
