SNDFAXPPD provides the facility to send a spooled file to a single fax address whilst using the power of PPD to map your spooled file data and include form overlays.  You create your PPD file in the normal way with a fax output device but instead of retrieving the fax number using the PPD file it is supplied in the command in the DEST keyword.
