You can do it automatically but I prefer to check the content before
printing it out.

After I receive a fax I use the following scripts to view and then print
the files:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
::::::::::::::
g3viewhr
::::::::::::::
#!/bin/sh

set +x

rm -rf /tmp/g3
mkdir /tmp/g3
cp $* /tmp/g3
cd /tmp/g3
pagecount=$(echo * | wc -w)
for g3 in *
do
	efix -i fax -o ps -r 300 -d6x18mm -s1.38 $g3
#	efix -i fax -o pbm $g3 > $g3.pbm
#	efix -i fax -o pcl -s1.3 $g3 > $g3.lj
done |
awk -vpagecount="$pagecount" '
BEGIN {
	pageno = 0
}
{
	if (pageno > 0 && $1 == "%!PS-Adobe-2.0") {
		while ($1 != "%%Page:")
			getline
	}
	line = $0
	if ($1 == "%%Page:")
		line = sprintf("%%%%Page: %d %d", ++pageno, pagecount)
	print line
}' - > /tmp/fax.ps

gv -geom 1014x714+0+0 /tmp/fax.ps
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
::::::::::::::
g3viewlr

#!/bin/sh

rm -rf /tmp/g3
mkdir /tmp/g3
cp $* /tmp/g3
cd /tmp/g3
pagecount=$(echo * | wc -w)
for g3 in *
do
	efix -i fax -o ps -r 300x170 -d6x18mm -s1.38 $g3
#	efix -i fax -o pbm $g3 > $g3.pbm
#	efix -i fax -o pcl -s1.3 $g3 > $g3.lj
done |
awk -vpagecount="$pagecount" '
BEGIN {
	pageno = 0
}
{
	if (pageno > 0 && $1 == "%!PS-Adobe-2.0") {
		while ($1 != "%%Page:")
			getline
	}
	line = $0
	if ($1 == "%%Page:")
		line = sprintf("%%%%Page: %d %d", ++pageno, pagecount)
	print line
}' - > /tmp/fax.ps

So if I get a mail which says:

	Communication parameters: +FDCS: 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,5
	    Resolution : normal
	    Bit Rate   : 9600
	    Page Width : 1728 pixels
	    Page Length: unlimited
	    Compression: 0 (1d mod Huffman)
	    Error Corr.: none
	    Scan Time  : 5

	Reception Time : 3:0


	Spooled G3 fax files:

	  
	  /var/spool/fax/incoming/fn1ea350aL1.01
	  /var/spool/fax/incoming/fn1ea350aL1.02
	  /var/spool/fax/incoming/fn1ea350aL1.03

I would type the following to view all three pages:

	g3viewlr /var/spool/fax/incoming/fn1ea350aL1.??

If it isn't junk I would then print it from within gv.

Use g3viewhr for high resolution (fine) faxes.
