    What operating system you are using? Did you specify a
    valid postscript file as the document?

    I am using Windows XP professional SP2. I tried using my
    own .ps file which is working with WHFC. But with that
    also I got the same error and I did use internal fax cover
    also - same problem with that too...I need this client to
    work because this has more than one file attachment
    feature...please help....

    If you send the cover page only the number of pages is set
    to '?'. Otherwise the attached postscript documents are
    scaned for lines that start with '%%Page'.

    OK, so does this mean that I will never get the actual
    number and I will always keep getting "?". Shall I accept
    this as the limitation? Reason being cover sheet is the one
    which tells the person how many pages have been faxed to
    him...any ways...this client is perfect for my needs...
    except this pages following number feature...Problem....

    In case only a cover page is sent:

    The latex style the cover page is based on replaces the
    page count by a ? if
    it equals 0 (unless zeroPcountStr is redefined):

    \newcommand{\pagecount}{\special{ps: page-count (0) eq
    {zeroPcountStr}{page-count} ifelse show }}

    It should not be hard to adapt the cover page and JHylaFAX
    to use -1 as
    the "magic number" for an unknown page count so 0 can be
    displayed in case
    the page count is known to actually be zero.

    I also have this problem - and it's not only when I send the cover page alone I'm afraid.

    Just this evening I sent a fax with a .pdf-document attached. The .pdf was 2 pages. On the fax cover it says "# of pages ?" (I use the internal because I get all kinds of error messages when I use my own .ps-template).
