A replacement fax machine? Most digital faxes send to email which is probably a better idea.
Why not email a nicely formatted text file that they can output at their leisure?

I understand your critique, but I have to say it is misinformed and misleading to others who might read it. Hard Copy is portable, it doesn't need to be installed and depending on your internet/network setup, you only need to make a few changes and never touch them again.
Hard Copy is intended as a *free* replacement for faxing. Last time I checked, you had to pay for fax to e-mail, or any free variants plagued you with advertisements. The whole point of Hard Copy is that everything is instant in the same manner as a physical fax machine.
The reason I developed Hard Copy in the first place is that I noticed in my college an awful lot of running around to pass messages to lecturers who were lecturing, which interrupts lectures and causes a lot of people walking around the building when they should be working. The problem with e-mail is that, yes, the recipient prints it off at their leisure. If someone in a lecture needs to go somewhere urgently, the lecturer would have to check their email, whereas it would be easier to just pick something off a printing tray and read it quickly. Speed, speed, speed - it's all about speed my friend, room to room, building to building, either way it's super-fast.
As for the letterhead complaint, I'm going to take that on as a possible option for the next release, so users can have an offset for letterheaded-paper. Thanks!
Please don't take this as me being hostile or rude, but it's polite to try something before judging it... If you'd used the application before, you could leave appropriate criticism and Hard Copy can grow and prosper :)
