How do I set up fax capabilities?

I have had this fabulous laptop for a year now and I still do not know how to send and receive faxes.
How do I do that or where can I find that information?
I have Safari and I also have Road Runner. Both are browsers, I believe. I continue to get my mail through aol and use aol as a homepage.
In the dock I still have an aol icon for my old 6.0 because I have so much material saved there and haven't transferred it all yet. I don't know if these old applications are slowing my computer down or not but for the last three weeks or so it has been crashing when I try to quit Safari. Also, Safari seems to be running quite slow.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions that you can give.

If everything is getting slow, too, it may be an issue with the periodic daily, weekly, and monthly launchd scripts not launching because his computer isn't turned on when the scripts would normally launch, and log files fmay be filling up his computer's hard drive.
If this is the case, he could open Terminal.app (in the Utilities folder that is in the Applications folder) from an admin-privileged account, and type
df⏎ to see how full his hard drive is. Then, if necessary, he could type
/etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-logs⏎
/etc/periodic/daily/500.daily⏎
/etc/periodic/daily/500.weekly⏎
/etc/periodic/daily/500.monthly⏎
several times (they may take a while if they haven't been run regularly), so they rotate out old logfiles.
Also, Disk Utility's repair permissions option might be in order, too. (also in the Utilities folder that is in the Applications folder).
What do you think?

How can I set the fax prefix no. on HP officejet pro 8600

Greeting.
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I want to send FAX thru this.
In my office, we need to put '0' to call outside.
However, there is no prefix setting menu on this device.
I have another model HP 1213mf which has Prefix No. menu on it, but I couldn't find this menu on 8600.
Please Help me

Hi Wony,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I understand you're looking for a way to add a prefix on the Officejet 8600 for faxing, and I will do my best to explain what I found on this subject.
As far as I can tell, and I did check with a few colleagues, there is no Prefix No. menu on the OJ 8600 like there was on your LaserJet 1213mf. With that being said, that doesn't mean that you can't use this printer to fax in your office. Anytime you need to dial the fax you would hit the 0 first follow by ##, as that adds a pause to the dialing to then dial the rest of the number. You can also add that to speed dial numbers so that for numbers that are used all the time you don't have to dial the number each and every time.
So just as an example, if you were to fax HP's faxback server (1-888-473-2963) you would dial "0##1-888-473-2963" to get the fax to send.
This may not be exactly what you were looking for, but I hope this is an acceptable workaround Please let me know!

How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

How do I set up the fax program so I can send faxes from my mac

How do I set up the fax program so I can send faxes from my mac

Do you have a fax machine or fax modem? If not, then you cannot fax over telephone lines, but you can subscribe to one of many eFax services.

How do you set up the stupid USB modem to send faxes?

Just bought the stupid USB modem because my new G5 is so new and improved that it doesn't have a modem like my old G4. Naturally I was so pleased to spend extra money that I hastened to order a brand new USB modem from Apple. Aren't they smart? Eliminate minor product features and then sell them separately to gullible users.
Well Apple's even smarter than I thought, because not only did they not include the modem on the new G5, the 'manual' doesn't actually tell you how to use it to send faxes. That guarantees you'll go to their website and maybe even buy more stuff.
So, has anybody out there actually figured out how to make an Apple product work in spite of itself, or do I have to go to my local business store and buy a fax machine?
PowerBook G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, I did what the manual said
When I phone my fax line, I hear the fax squeal produced by the Mac, so I could get incoming faxes, but the modem isn't recognized as a printer so I can't send out faxes. Manual explains how to dial out, but seems to be talking about how to connnect to the Internet with a dial-up modem.
Since you don't say what specific problem you are
having,
Have you gone to System Preferences > Print & Faxing
Faxing> Set Up Fax Modem yet?
Have you looked at "Mac OS Help" type Fax in search
box - lots of info there.
Hope this helps

How do I set up a filter to stop relayed mail?

How do I set up a filter to stop relayed mail?
Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) is electronic mail sent to large numbers
of recipients without their knowledge or consent, usually advertising commercial
products or services. It is the electronic equivalent of paper "junk
mail", and is commonly referred to as Spam.
UBE is usually just a nuisance, but the volume of UBE received at a
certain site can at times become so onerous that business-critical functions
are affected. This is especially true when UBE is used maliciously
to produce a denial of service attack, where a mail server is inundated
with UBE and crashes because of the load. Another common UBE problem
is when a mail server is used as a relay for UBE, so that a particular
server spends all its time routing e-mail that isn't destined for its
users. Some ISPs have reported that their mail servers have been
hard coded into certain spam programs, so that they are constantly being
used as a relay. Not only does this slow down their mail service
locally, but sometimes other ISP's will identify the afflicted ISP as a
source of spam and begin to block messages, legitimate and spam alike,
coming from that ISP. ISP's often name UBE as their number one problem,
preventing them from providing fast, reliable service.
For a full definition of UBE see http://www.imc.org/uce-def.html
(Unsolicited Bulk Email: Definitions and Problems).
Messaging Server 3.5 Hosting Edition supports powerful filtering capabilities
on messages as they are received by the server. Various criteria
can be applied to incoming messages, including testing on number of recipients,
sender domain or IP address, messages being relayed, and more. Messages
can then be bounced, dropped, or reviewed by an administrator before being
delivered. Providers can filter out unwanted mail at the source or block
a third party from using their messaging server for relaying email.
UBE Filters Functionality Overview
The UBE filter is a plugin for Netscape Messaging Server 3.5. It works
by examining all incoming mail before it is routed throughout the system
(to users mailboxes or to other email servers). The UBE filter uses a set
of rules (also known as filters) to decide what to do with each piece of
mail. The filters are used to trap specified types of mail.
Mail that is trapped can be rejected, forwarded to a specific mailbox (e.g.,
the postmaster), deleted, or altered in some way. Mail that "passes"
all the filters continues on its normal course.
Filters can be set up two ways, either using the straight forward Graphical
User Interface (GUI) or by setting up the filters directly in the filter.cfg
file. Generally, one would use the GUI interface for simple, one
line filters. To set up more complicated, multi-part filters, editing
the filter.cfg file directly would be faster. Both methods
are accessed via the Messaging Server Admin tool, under Plug-ins.
The following discussion gives some high level examples of how to set up
simple filters using the GUI and via the filter.cfg file.
For detailed information on how to set up and configure the UBE Filter
plug-in, see chapter 5 of the online help, or http://home.netscape.com/eng/Messaging/guide35/ch5.htm#Controlling
unsolicited bulk email (UBE).
Setting Up UBE Filters with the GUI
The following screen shot shows a simple UBE filter being set up using
the UBE GUI. What is being set up is a filter to check all incoming
messages to see if they come from a domain that has been a regular source
of UBE. In this case, the name of the offending domain is "spammer.com".
So, each message that comes in has its "From" field checked to see if
it is from "spammer.com". If it is, the action is REJECT, meaning
the message is bounced back to the sender, with the appended message "I
don't accept mail from spammer.com".

 
Any field in the message can be examined, with some of the most popular
including the Subject, To, and Cc fields. Any regular expression
can be placed into the Value field, thus allowing the filter to check for
various conditions, including containment of a particular phrase (e.g.
Subject includes "make money"), or number of recipients (e.g., if greater
than 100, REJECT). For more information on how to write regular expressions,
see http://home.netscape.com/eng/Messaging/guide35/ch5.htm#Controlling
unsolicited bulk email (UBE)
There are a number of actions that can be taken on a trapped message.
The most common are forwarding to a "watchdog" account such as the postmaster,
rejection, and deletion. But, in addition, programs such as virus
checking can be run on a message to trap infected messages.
Setting Up UBE Filters by editing the filter.cfg file
In the above example, the filter that was set up was converted to a
short filter script that looked as follows:
Channel-From ".*@spammer.com" REJECT
"I don't accept mail from spammer.com"
This can also be directly entered into the filter.cfg file by
choosing the option "Edit Config File" from the UBE Page. This becomes
interesting for more complicated filters that require more than one filter
line. The following example shows a set of filters that were set
up to check for various conditions. For example, the fifth
and sixth line down is a filter that checks messages for viruses.

 
Using the UBE Filter for Anti-Relay
 
One of the most requested needs of the new UBE filters supported in
Messaging Server 3.5 is to provide "anti-relay", i.e., to stop UBE which
is from an outside domain and destined for another outside domain.
In these cases, the mail is usually UBE and is relaying to hide the source
of the original spammer.
There are two possible scenarios for anti-relay. One is where
there is a separate machine outside the firewall that checks for e-mail
for its domain. The other scenario is when there is only one machine
handling both internal and external traffic.
Scenario One: Separate machines used for internal and external
mail
Outside of the firewall are mail servers that handle all incoming mail
from the internet. Internal users connect to mail servers inside
of the fire wall. The scenario looks like this:
 
What we want to allow is users 1 and 2 (U1 and U2) to send mail anywhere
but X1 and X2 should only be allowed to send mail to our servers.
Solution:
On the External Mail Server create a filter script that checks the Channel-to
header for domains that are internal to us. Allow these through and
reject all other mail. E.g., the filters would look as follows:
 
<UL># if the mail is bound for domain1 or domain2 then exit the script
(and allow the mail to continue)
 Channel-To "domain1.com" EXIT
 Channel-To "domain2.com" EXIT
 # otherwise reject it outright ($ANY means any header and .* means
it has any text)
 $ANY ".*"
REJECT "This machine only accepts mail bound for domain1.com or domain2.com"</UL>
We don't need to do anything on the internal server since only our users
can get to it (because of the firewall) and we want to allow them to send
and receive any and all mail.
 
Scenario 2: Single machine used for internal and external mail
In this scenario the same machine is used for both internal and external
connections. The problem we face here is that we need to allow the
local users to send mail outside our domains but not allow external users
to do the same. Note: This set up is not generally recommended, since it
makes the Messaging Server open to external attacks.
 
Here, we want to allow U1, U2 and U3 to send anywhere and X1 and X2
to send to domain1 or domain2 only.
Solution:
The solution in this case is to put the same script as scenario 1 on
the server but pre-pend it with lines that check for a connection from
the internal domains. If the connection is from our users it must
be from certain IP addresses, say 128.128.128.* or 128.128.129.*, so we
look for that. If it's not from one of these two IP addresses, then
it must be from outside and we apply the same logic as in scenario 1.
 
<UL>#if the connection is from our internal domains then exit the script
(and allow the mail to continue)
 Host-From "128\.128\.128\." EXIT
 Host-From "128\.128\.129\." EXIT
 # if the mail is bound for domain1 or domain2 then exit the script
(and allow the mail to continue)
 Channel-To "domain1.com" EXIT
 Channel-To "domain2.com" EXIT
 # otherwise reject it outright ($ANY means any header and .* means
has any text)
 $ANY ".*" REJECT "This machine only accepts mail bound for domain1.com
or domain2.com"</UL>

I agree anti-relay can be using UBE feature. However, there is serious problem in reject the spam mail. My nms is using UBE feature to stop spam mail. According to the work flow of the UBE, the mail is received by nms completely and UBE is going to invesgate the mail address. Although UBE can stop the spam mail, the spam mail have a trouble in returning the mail to the sender. The reason is the sender address is usually not existed in the world. That will cause a lot of mail waiting in the mail queue.
In my experience, do not use UBE for anti-relay.

Setting up fax and voicemail on same phone line.

I have one phone line with voicemail and fax. How do I set up the fax so voicemail doesn't pick up my faxes and the fax doesn't pick up my voicemail messages? I have the fax and phone going through a splitter. I just discontinued my separate phone line I used for faxing and internet and want to use a single phone line for everything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Auntalee

If you have Verizon Home Voicemail (the kind you access by dialing a phone number i.e. no answering machine) I can't see how it would work.
Some fax machines can answer the phone listen for the fax tones and if it doesn't hear them it rings another phone or answering machine connected to it.
It comes down to something has to answer the phone, figure out what kind of call it is a route it to either a answering machine or a fax machine.
The only other way to do it with one line and Verizon voice mail is to get something called Distinctive Ringing service (if its available for Fios). You get another phone number but not another physical line. The one phone line rings differently for each number. The fax machine must then have the distinctive ring feature and be setup to only answer it's ring. The other ring it ignores which means VM will pick it up.
Good luck

Set default fax to black and white

I have been sending faxes by sending doc files to print and selecting the Officejet fax as my printer option.
Annoyingly, it keeps reverting to "send color" . I would like to set "sending black and white faxes" as the default.
How can I set the default to Black and white?
I cannot find, in the manual, any reference to setting the default.
Thanks for any insight--even a page number in the manual would be helpful.

Hi @deepthinker,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are trying to set default fax to black and white instead of color with your HP Officejet 5610 on Windows 8.1 (64-bit). I am happy to look into this for you!
I would recommend to open your HP Solution Center (should be a printer icon on your desktop.) Then click on Settings, then click on Printer Settings, click on the Features tab at the top of the screen, look for the Color Options section near bottom left, and click on Print in grayscale, click the down arrow on High Quality, and select Black Ink Only.
Here is an image of what I am seeing.
If that doesn't work try the following:
Open the HP Solution Center, select Send A Fax, and then look for Black and White only.
Here is another image to illustrate.
Hope this information helps, and have a good day!

How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer. The setup is done as part of the installation.
Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed. There is a video to assist - see below!
Install Printer Driver / Software
If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues. There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success.
You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities. The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS. For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System. If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
(Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
Software controls the programs that interact with the User
Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
Officejet Pro 8500 Series
Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
NOTE: You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s). The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool. Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
NOTE: If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step. During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software: The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software. Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in. After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed. Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTES:
If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates - check Category - Update. The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware. Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

How do I send a fax using Firefox or Gmail?

How do I send a fax using firefox or gmail? I have printed a set of instructions which start out with the use of a verification tool to determine whether the number I want to send a fax to is within the "fax service area". I don't understand this statement. I can use my fax machine to dial the number, most any number world wide, and send a fax to the number. Why would I want to use Firefox or Gmail to send a fax when I already have a fax machine? Sometimes my fax machine is busy for longer than I can wait.

Are you connected to a phone line? Have you a fax modem? Other than that use a free fax web site:

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7, and I use a Roland RD700GX keyboard to input midi data into Logic. How do I set up Logic to record the Roland's own internal Grand Piano sounds into Logic, while retaining the ability to make midi edits? By Eggie

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7 on a mid-2011 Intel iMac running OS10.7.4. I use a Roland RD700GX as my midi input keyboard. How can I set up Logic to record The RD700GX's own internal Grand Piano sounds, while retaining the ability to take advantage of Logic 9's midi editing capabilities. I am a relative newcomer to Logic, and I haven't been able to find an answer in The Logic 9 User Manual. A step by step procedure would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Eggie0379

Create a new External Midi Track, set the MIDI port to the one being connected to teh RD700. Now,create a new Software Instrument track. Select the external instrument plug-in. Set the MIDI destination and the audio input inside the Plug-in. Now, you can record the MIDI notes and hear the sound of the RD700. Once you've editied, you can bounce the track.
Best,
