Well that certainly works :-) . But I'm trying to put together a
status report on a fax transmission  that I can fax to another
machine. So I need to create the tiff.

I looked up ps2tiff. That seems to be a windows program. There is a
pstotiff linux program, but it seems to be unmaintained, and isn't
available on Fedora.
