fax2ps will not convert faxes that tiff2ps will. this was noticed when i move an application from a RedHat 6.0 box to a 6.1 box. (not an upgrade, but a different machine) fax2ps does not give any errors, just generates blank pages.
This was a bug in fax2ps that crept in while we weren't looking. The fix has already been incorporated into libtiff-3.5.5-1, which is in Raw Hide (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/).
I did not report this bug. I dont know why I am listed as the reporter. I have no link to this bug. -- riehl
