After many experiments with the netpbm package, with the same bad
results you got, I finally found on sunsite a program named "g3vga"
(/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/viewers/). It includes a very quick g32ps
command: you can use it to convert your fax in a PS file, and the print it
with GhostScript (maybe directly with lpr, I don't use magicfilter).
