Welcome to IWETHEY!

New On Linux: Hylafax
Although I don't know how easy it is to set up.

Also:

haliFAX
efax
lprfax (set up a shared lpr queue)

New Did Hylafax once about 2 years ago
I got it working eventually, with 2 years less Linux experience than I have now. I'm sure the new version would be even easier to set up.

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
New How hard is getting samba-based printing working?
And how well does SAMBA interface with Win2k-style Active Directory?

New CUPS
1) apt-get install cups-sys
2) bring up the admin interface: http://localhost:631
3) Add Printer

New My experience: efax much easier than hylafax...

...though theoretically one or both can be set up as shared print queues (the number to be dialed becomes a job property), allowing group access.

Hylafax is supposed to be the mondo server version. It's a lot happier as a dedicated service than as a onesey-twosey configuration, according to what I could figure out.

You'll find HOWTOs at [link|http://www.tldp.org/|the usual place], but they're fairly Byzantine for faxing IMO.
