.SH NAME
efax-gtk-socket-client \- a client of efax-gtk to work with lpd/lprng
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B efax-gtk-socket-client
.RI [ hostname ] \ [ port ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This program enables lpd/lprng to access the efax-gtk socket server. Meaning the user can send faxes to a printer, which will ack as a fax.
.br 
.sp 2
It takes two arguments - first a hostname to connect to, and secondly a port number at that hostname to connect to.  All efax-gtk-socket-client does is to read from standard input (in this case from lpd/lprng) and passes it to a socket at the hostname and port number passed as arguments to it (namely the hostname of the computer efax-gtk is running on - normally you would specify localhost - and the port number of the socket).

.br
.sp 2
This will cause a printer by the name of "fax" to be available, which
(if printed to) will send the file to the efax-gtk socket server.  If
you set efax-gtk to listen on a port other than port 9900, you will
need to amend the file /var/spool/fax/efax-gtk-faxfilter by hand to
specify the correct port number on which efax-gtk is listening.

Don't forget to restart the lpd printer daemon after amending
/etc/printcap.
