Automatic print of email attachments

I have recently changed over to a virtual fax methodology for the company whereby all faxes arrive as a pdf attachment to a designated email address. One area requires all received faxes to be be printed, how can the pdf attachments by automatically printed?

I know of one solution to your dilemna if you are currently using Exchange 5.x or higher. Here is a link to a 3rd Party server-side solution that allows you to set custom rules for incoming messages, including printing attachments to specific printers.

What fax solution are you using to have incoming faxes turned into pdf attachments?

I am using a service, Protus IP Solutions, allows for sending & receiving faxes via email, can also be done online too.

You don’t specify which e-mail system. You want to automatically open and process an e-mail attachment, With spam and viruses at incredible levels the thought of auto processing attachemtns is really scary.

Depending on your e-mail system, have it save attachments to a system attached to a printer (preferrably not a network printer). Then use a script to print new files as they are added.

Good luck.
