InfoPath 2007 RightFax automation issue C#

We are experiencing an issue with image quality and missing information on the InfoPath form when submitted automatically using the email Data Connection. When a user faxes the form manually (File --> PPrint --> RightFax fax printer) it displays correctly. The reason for this is the PTF driver image quality with differs from the image quality of the RF printer driver.

I wrote some C# code to set the properties and submit as follows:

this.SaveAs("C:\\Data\\Excel\\InfoPath.xsn");

// Write your code here.
RFCOMAPILib.FaxServerClass faxserver = new RFCOMAPILib.FaxServerClass();
faxserver.ServerName = "RightFax";
faxserver.Protocol = RFCOMAPILib.CommunicationProtocolType.cpNamedPipes;
faxserver.UseNTAuthentication = RFCOMAPILib.BoolType.True;
faxserver.OpenServer();

RFCOMAPILib.Fax fax = (RFCOMAPILib.Fax)faxserver.get_CreateObject(RFCOMAPILib.CreateObjectType.coFax);

// set up your 'fax' object the way you want it, below is just some sample options
fax.ToName = "Recipient";
fax.ToFaxNumber = "1234567890";
fax.ToVoiceNumber = "1234567890";
fax.ToCompany = "ToCompany";
fax.FromName = "FromCompany";
fax.FromVoiceNumber = "1234567890";
fax.IsFineMode = RFCOMAPILib.BoolType.True;
fax.Attachments.Add("C:\\Data\\Excel\\InfoPath.xsn", RFCOMAPILib.BoolType.False);
fax.Send();
faxserver.CloseServer();

This works (not well), but I think this is a half-baked way of doing it. What I would like is the following:

* If InfoPath had a printer Data Source this would be ideal.

* If I go with the C# code, I would need to figure out how to 'attach' the current form to be included in the body of the fax.

Thank you, WHEELS
