Let me first say that I am very new to Linux and my knowledge of it is very limited. I have been trying to install hylafax which is suppose to allow for sharing of fax resources but have not been successful. I have followed the steps layed out by hylafax but am not able to get past the "sharuil" part of the install. Can someone give me exact, simple instructions for installing hylafax? Also I have been trying to set up a shared printer using CUPS. The printer seems to set up but in the status it keeps telling me that it is unable to locate printer. The printer is a network printer. How do I tell CUPS that the printer is located at a particular address?

A quick reply would greatly be APPRICIATED !

    I did not want to give you the one line command because I can't remember if one package should be installed before the other. As a one liner:
    yum install hylafax* --enablerepo-clearos-epel
    or as two lines
    yum install hylafax+ --enablerepo-clearos-epel,clearos-core
    yum install hylafax+-client --enablerepo-clearos-epel,clearos-core
    but check if the order matters first.

    [edit]
    I've just read the docs and a later version is available from the Hylafax site, so download the two packages you need with wget - either the x86 or x86_64 packages then install with:
    yum localinstall hylafax*rpm --enablerepo=clearos-core --nogpgcheck
    Hopefully this will sort all the dependencies.

    Ok as I said, I am new at this Linux thing. Where do I get the rpm and what would be the full command to initiate the install?

    Hylafax is directly available as rpm's so installable by yum if you add --enablerepo=clearos-epel to the yum command.

    I can't remember if you have to install one before the other. The Installation Instructions will say so.

    I never bothered installing it once I upgraded to 6.x but I seem to remember I had to change one setting to force the last page to come out full and not cut at the end of text. I seem to remember a configuration script which was quite good. The only issue I had was trying to locate the serial port. I have the old configs somewhere if necessary.
