Hello everybody.
I'm implementing a fax capi application. I'm looking for a virtual
printer to obtain a sff file.

Any help?

Thanks in advanced.

What language you implement the application, i.e. what API you
want to use for SFF-creation?

I use VB6.

I use VB6.

I was implementing a SFFOutputStream in Java taking a
BufferedImage and write it as SFF to a given stream.
If you're not too focused on the language this might
be something for you. I was implementing that for a
company I'm working for so in case you're interested
you can contact that company for more informations
(I can't give the code out, because it was developed
specifically for that company).

It's not a print-driver but working quite similar
and platform-independent.

You need to buy the MS driver development kit. Together with a current
version of the Visual-Studio, you can implement a UNIDRIVER plugin
which will then act as a printer-driver that can be used with all
applications
compatible to the MS Windows printing system.

All development takes place in C/C++. You should be fluent in the use
of this/those languages, have a good understanding about the SFF-format
and obviously also of the Modified-Huffman encoding used for T.30.

Best regards,
Tobias

Tobias, thanks for the answer.

I have no time neither knowledge to make a virtual printer. I not have
seen in the market a sff virtual printer. Do you know any?

Obviously there are quite a few companies out there having developed
a SFF-printer-driver (probably every company who has a CAPI-based
fax-server solution), including ours. I'm not sure if our management
is interested in licensing such a solution, but if you'd mail me somewhat
more information about your plans, I would forward your request
here inhouse.
