Actually, I'm doing just fine sending PostScript files to Jane's Dell.

What I'm now about to do is automate fax delivery here.  Right now, all
incoming faxes come to my mailbox and I view them in my X Window; I
rarely print them unless they're for Jane.  Now I'll start to build up a
list of the Sender Names (or Numbers) of people who fax her a lot, and
redirect those faxes straight to her printer.
