Care to list them?
Or would you rather just keep whining?

This one may require some more research on your part.
It seems that your client expects 200x200 resolution and has no automatic
way at present to detect a 200x100 format, and act accordingly.
This is also an old old problem that first was noticed in the early days of
windows fax. So I don't hold out much hope of getting it fixed by a change
to windows fax.
It may be that the printer driver is not a "full feature" driver, and was
likely included with windows.
There are photo oriented programs that with the use of scripting, can do the
conversion automatically.

I don't remember if the tiff file version used has any internal "flags" that
might be used to identify 200x100 formatting.
