Installation Instructions |
Winprint HylaFAX is a Windows print monitor designed to send its output directly to a HylaFAX Server. Once installed, you can print to a HylaFAX Server from any application, and it will pop up a simple dialog box, allowing you to enter the destination FAX number. It's not intended to be fancy or all encompassing, just a quick and easy way to send FAXes from any Windows application It can be downloaded here.

It is packaged in the form of a Windows Installer, which installs the required sets of .DLL files and registers the monitor with the system. This adds support for a new type of port to your system, called a "WinPrint HylaFAX Port." Once you've successfully installed the files, setup is straightforward, but it has a number of steps. First, you'll want to create an appropriate PostScript printer using the "Add Printer" button. You want to select a "Local printer," but since it's not a physical printer, uncheck the "Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer" box. Next, you'll be asked what port to use. Select the radio button "create a new port type." If the installation went well, you should see "Winprint Hylafax" as one of the options. The drop list might scroll, so it may not be obvious that it's at the bottom of the list. (If it doesn't appear on the list at all, something went wrong with your installation.) |
