Jacques,

Since (1)the code that I use will work with almost any fax printer driver that I have encountered, (2)I don't attempt to control what printers are installed, and (3)printing to TIFF is optional, I use the global private variable M._FAXPRINTERDRIVER (set from a local config table on startup) to allow each workstation to be configured to use whatever fax printer is available. If improperly set to a non fax printer, it will just create a PRN file for the driver specified and will not break my code.

I realize that you probably want to have a standard TIFF printer driver, and if MS FAX printer fits the bill, I guess you could check using aprinters() on startup and install it from your app as long as the user has rights to install printers. However, I don't know if you can legally distribute this print driver with your app.

HTH
