Well, it appears we had two problems.

First, the fax machine couldn't contact the printer because of firewall
issues.  That's resolved now and the faxes should be waiting on darkhelmet's
output tray.

Second, you can't print from one of the client machines.  Jim fixed that
while I was still trying to figure out what was going on.  We should be all
set.  Please test it again.  Appears to be the first issue to come up from
the big fileserver replacement some time ago.  That's not too bad. :)

Thanks for reporting this.
