I did not yet read it, but if it was from Stefan Stapelberg, then we have
discussed it before.

Yes, ignoring the +FDCS parameters for page length / page width /
compression will lead into problems - *IFF* you use other values than 1-d
compressed, 1728 pixels wide data. That format is supported by every
machine. (And that's what sendfax uses).

So that should not be the problem (also it woud manifest differently, that
is, no data would be printed at all, or the data would be truncated).
