Description fanisatt 2009-06-22 09:31:19 UTC 
Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.2.4)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

If I login as a normal user I can't send a fax with kdeprintfax. I use it inside KWord. The program reports an error and my fax modem does nothing at all. 
There is no problem if I login as the root !!

That's the log file of kdeprintfax after the error report :

The problem solved with user manager (Administration - Users and Groups) and some changes to the Selinux Administration (Boolean).

KDEPrint is obsolete, unmaintained and will never be revived.  Closing all open bugs.
