PRINT a fax from VB

[nyc301]

Hi everybody,



I struggle to find e solution to send a fax via VB6. I am using
the FAXCOMEXLib but it seems to work only whit an attached document. I don't
want to send an existing document but just print it on the FAX Printer. If
I do so, windows shows me the wizard. Is there any solution to set the
recipient (fax Number), print it without showing the wizard windows?



TIA

You can use FaxStartPrintJob to print a fax to fax printer DC. Specify the
fax send information in the FAX_PRINT_INFO structure. This would not display
the Fax Send Wizard.

This functionality is available only in Win32 though, and not through COM.

Please have a look a the following MSDN link about how to use it:

Arindam,

thank you for your reply. With your help I could write a good code to
send fax using Local Fax Printer but I canno connect to my Server Fax
Printer.
The code I am using is the following:
ReVal = FaxStartPrintJobA("\\MECAIT02\Fax", FaxInfo, FaxJob, FaxContext)
Is it correct or I have to spell in e different way the
\\machinename\printer?

Thanks in advance.
Alberto
