Windows Fax and Scan, Cannot print faxes to printer

Anonymous

I have been facing this problem for about a week now.

Faxes are working just fine. I can send and receive faxes without problem.

I can save those faxes and then print them if needed. But the problem is that I cannot print them directly from the application as I were able to before. I see the printer being detected by the application but when I hit the print command, nothing happens.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

    Here is my work around.

    Create a new folder called: Fax Inbox

    In Windows Fax and Scan go to Tools and then Fax Settings. Under the General tab click the More Options button.

    Check mark the box that says Save a copy to

    Then put in the (or browse to) the location of your newly created folder Fax Inbox. For me that was D:\Fax Inbox

    I created a the folder on my D drive and sent a shortcut to the desktop.

    Now, whenever a fax comes in, it will go to that folder. You can open the faxes inside that folder and print fairly easily.

    I did this but I can only view the first page of the fax. What do I need to do so that I can view all pages of the fax?
