- I haven't tried this.

- Check out the release notes for lpr (in particular, search for
- "fax" in NextAdmin with DL). The 3.0 lpr allows an argument for
- -DYYYYMMDDhhmm for deferred printing.
- Apparently, all fax jobs go through lpr. Watch the spool
- directories (like /usr/spool/NeXT/Local_Fax) when you send
- a fax. I imagine that command-line faxing will just require
- modifying the header on your .ps file to include entries like:
-
- %%NXFaxVersion: 300
- %%NXFaxNumber: xxx-xxxx
- %%NXFaxTo: My Friend
- %%NXFaxNotify: YES
- %%NXFaxHires: YES
- %%NXFaxTrim: YES
-
- I haven't tried this.
