Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)
I'm working on VB6 project which is going to send faxes from user
workstation via shared fax printer on the server (Windows 2003 Standard
Edition).
I can send fax from Notepad, Word etc.
I wrote the code (sample was taken from MS MSDN site) which sends faxes from
a workstation (Windows XP Pro SP1) via local fax printer and it works fine.
There is a line of code:
objFaxServer.Connect ""
which establishes a connection to the fax printer. In case of empty string
it uses local fax services. If I need to use a network fax printer I have to
fill that parameter with a name of the fax printer.
My server named "BIGDELL", fax printer has the name "BigDellFax". It's its
name on the server, as well as shared name. On my testing workstation it
appears as "Auto BigdellFax on BIGDELL".
I tried all the combinations:
objFaxServer.Connect "\\BIGDELL\BigDellFax"
objFaxServer.Connect "BigDellFax"
objFaxServer.Connect "Auto BigdellFax on BIGDELL"
None of them is working.
What should I need to enter as a parameter in order to make a connection?
