Fax and Faxing in Apple Mac 10.6 Server, need help sharing fax.

[Erich Wetzel]

We use an Intel Mac Pro with an Apple USB fax modem to handle incoming and outbound faxing.

In 10.4 and 10.5 Server the initial setup of the fax led to the queue being listed  by default as "published" in the CUPS web interface at serveraddress:631 and the fax queue being available to client machines which were looking for it.

In testing 10.6 Server the setup of the fax queue default appears to have changed to "not shared."

In trying to modify the queue in the CUPS interface the procedure stalls at "select a PPD" since I have not been able to find where the PPD is for the Apple fax/modem and select it from the web interface.

I have had no luck manually modifying the file for available printers as it seems that the fax gets changed back to "not shared" on restart of the Print system in ServerAdmin.

Does anyone have advice how to change the FAX queue to be shared either by manually editing the CUPS setup files or by adjusting via the web interface or another method?

Thanks for your consideration
