[gscan2pdf-help] Problem with saving in formats other than PDF - RESEND WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

[John M. <jar...@ya...>]

I'm running gscan2pdf version 0.9.29 on Ubuntu Jaunty, with an HP LaserJet 3020 multi-function device.

When
I scan a multi-page document and save it as PDF, all the pages save
properly. However, when I attempt to save it in postscript so I can fax
it (using gfax frontend, hylafax backend), only the first page is
saved. The same problem exists when I save as tiff. I haven't tried the
other formats.

I've converted the PDFs to postscript using the
pdf2ps script, but this process creates a gigantic file, which hylafax
chokes on. 

For example, I scanned a 4 page document and saved
it in PDF format and the file size is 571 kb. After conversion to
postscript using pdf2ps, the file size is 4.9 megabytes. When I print
the same document "to file" in OpenOffice Writer (version 3.1.1), it's
postscript size is 341.8 kb. Since gscan doesn't save all pages in
postscript format, I'm not able to provide info on file size. BTW, the single-page PS file created by gscan is 2 megabytes in size, so I'm not sure that getting gscan to save multi-page documents will help hylafax.

Because
hylafax can only send postscript format files, I really need to come up
with a solution, since not everything I fax can be printed to file
using OO Writer. Alternatively, is there a Linux fax backend that can send files in a format other than postscript?

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
