I wanted to say, that one simply can print images directly with CUPS, using

lpr -o scaling=100 fax000000013.tif

and the document is automatically scaled to fit. But, unfortunately,
CUPS has a bug and prints only the first page of the multiple-page TIFF.

I will report this bug on www.cups.org.

Perhaps ImageMagick has an easy way to separate the pages.
