Print to Fax (Foip), any windows applications, open source?

[bdmonsey]

I would like to offer my customers a app for their pc to print to fax connecting to my sip server and receiving faxes there, are there any ready solutions available?

I want to pre-empt this by say I have not tried this as of yet, on FusionPBX, but is an interesting idea.

For clients that are still running Asterisk based servers, the fax server I have installed is Hylafax, which has many Java based clients. For example YAJHFC should work on any platform and has Windows binaries. The client installs itself as a print driver to allow for printing direct to the fax extension.

YajHFC - Current version

YajHFC is a client for the HylaFAX fax server written in Java

trying to decrypt the ask here.... sounds like u want to print all faxes received by the pbx... easiest solution that is free off the top of my head is just send all the faxes to a mailbox and in the spirit of being free we can send them all to a gmail account, use the open source mail client thunderbird create a rule to print all the emails to a specific printer.

Also most printer today let you setup an email account to connect your printer to the cloud and it is usually setup so you can just email that account and it prints whatever you toss at it....

I would also look into google cloud print... with a gmail account you may be able to remove thunderbird from the original idea I had.. Although I am curious if there are an other ways....

I have one CX that requests this and I just use an O365 account for this, but this doesn't meet the financial requirement here.
