Because Kooka is a KDE application, it can also
provide scanning services to other KDE applications, such as the KOffice suite.
Fax Client Software
openSUSE provides several clients that handle different aspects of composing, viewing,
and sending faxes. KDE has two graphical applications: Kfax, which views incoming electronic
faxes, and KDEprintFax, which writes them. The actual sending and receiving of
faxes is handled by the command-line fax server HylaFax.
You can use any text editor or word processor to create a document to fax. OpenOffice
Writer even has a wizard that will create a fax cover sheet template for easy use. Go to
File, Wizards, Fax to set that in motion. KDEprintFax also lets you write a cover page in its
interface, which you can see in Figure 9.12.
