Windows Fax and Scan, Cannot print faxes to printer

Save as a TIF to the desktop and the use cutepdf software to print the entire fax.

The TIF won't show all pages but the printed PDF will.

Has there been any news from Microsoft on this? I can barely find any information on this issue. It's been very frustrating.

Yep that is a good solution. Thanks for sharing 👍

Assuming a Windows Update is required to fix this, this could take weeks, months? So what to do between now and then? As a business we receive lots of faxes, last look we were at about 1600 faxes this year.

I use a program called Verypdf that automatically converts incoming fax tif files to pdfs. You need to read the verypdf setup documentation, but if I can set it up, I am sure IT people can do it easily. I use a program called AlwaysUp to run VeryPDF as a Windows Service versus a program, that is what works for me.

Verypdf is an old program, but right now with this Windows Fax and Scan issue we are experiencing, I have a work around to manipulate all my faxes as pdfs without using Print to PDF from Windows Fax and Scan. Finally, as the faxes are saved by VeryPDF as PDFs, I can print the faxes out as normal, as the PDFs are not associated with Windows Fax and Scan.

Not an answer to the issue, but a very workable bandaid that may be worth looking at. I will use my bandaid workaround until this gets fixed. Uninstalling updates, not sure I want to do that.

But if someone has a fix, I would love to hear about it!

I was using Fax and Scan on an HP computer running Windows 10. I stopped allowing me to print received faxes on 9/15/22 at 6 pm. I could print all of my earlier received faxes and no subsequent received faxes. When I opened the printer queue the earlier faxes would display in the printer queue for a full two minutes while they were printing. The later faxes flickered on the printer queue open window for less than half a second and then disappear and nothing would print. I reinstalled the printer software and changed all of the cables without fixing the problem. I can print anything else to the printer but not faxes received after 9/15/22 at 6 pm. I went and bought a new Dell Windows 11 computer to be able to use Fax and Scan successfully. This new computer printed was able to run Fax and Scan and printed the received faxes without difficulty for one day. Then the second day 9/19/22 the same problem occurred. Previously faxes received before 9/19 would print but no later faxes would print. They would flicker briefly for less than a second in the open printer queue window and disappear and then not print. This can not be a hardware problem as both computers are independent and even have different operating systems. I think some update to the Fax and Scan software must have been downloaded automatically to the computers to create this new problem.

Please investigate and fix this problem.

Thanks,
