What about:

Client with Postscript printer driver
Some kind of a printing system (samba with lpr[ng] and/or cups etc.) to
access the fax-printer via smb/cifs/lpr/ipp/whatever..
Output filter for the fax-printer to convert Postscript to tiff and
generate
a call file with App txfax...

The problem is to tell the printer the number to fax to...
You can grep in the Postscript file for a predefined string (for example
"Fax Recpient Nr") and generate some matching templates in your office
suite..

Search for HylaFax solutions, they are pretty much the same...
