Multifunction Printer/Scanner/FAX machines and FAXing from the desktop.

I've got a Canon MP530 thanks to an Apple Bundle and after a lot of gyrations, it has come down to be that neither I, Canon, nor Apple can make this unit send or recieve FAXs from the desktop!
Apple seems to be "stunned" (better word than "clueless") about this lack of functionality. Canon's response is (literally) "Buy a PC."
I know I can do software that will let me FAX but but that is not an option at this point. I've got four machines who all can plug into the same printer/scanner/unit and there's no reason that this machine shouldn't be able to send a FAX for me.
So, I'm here posting this message wondering if anyone has purchased an "All-in-one" unit (preferably part of an Apple bundle) that supports printing from the computer, scanning to the computer, and FAXing to and from the computer and that they've actually used (themselves) and seen work.

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.

I unfortunately upgraded my browser to IE8 last week and the chat support online does not support that browser. If you get an answer, I would appreciate it if you would post the answer on this thread so that I can re-learn it myself. Thanks. Good Luck.

Faxing from the desktop with a Photosmart C7280

I have several printers some of which allow me to fax directly from the desktop rather than having to scan it on the printer itself. When I install the C7280 it install the printer and it also created a second printer, "HP Photosmart C7200 series fax." I assumed that this worked like other printers and you just select it to print to when you want to send the document as a fax. No so.
As an example, I create a documetn in Word and then choose the HP Photosmart C7200 series fax to print and nothing happens.
Can this printer fax directly from the desktop?

Can only print with manual feed and NOT from the paper tray from websites

When I try to print something from a website, I must manually feed the paper in the manual feed slot. It will not print from the tray. This problem does not happen when I print something from an email with no downloads or something from MSword or Excel. So, it's most likely a browser printer setting issue. Any ideas?
Thanks

Probably related to printer preferences and how they relate to Firefox. If you did the complete reset all the printer setting that Firefox would saved would have been cleared and gone back to the default settings. Without familiarity with that specific printer ''(or even knowing which printer you are using)'' the best advice I can offer is to seek help from a support forum for that brand printer, or for you to reinstall the printer software to get back to the defaults.

CAPTURING VIDEO AND AUDIO FROM THE DESKTOP

I AM USING A PAVILION DV 7-6163 WINDOWS 7 OS.
WHEN I CAPTURE VIDEO OF MY DESKTOP, I ALSO CAPTURE ANY NOISE MY MICROPHONE PICKS UP. A COUGH OR SNEEZ. HOW DO I PREVENT THIS?
THANK YOU,
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Its simple. DONT cough or sneeze when you are capturing video.
The notebook which you have has a digital dual-microphone array which features beam-forming, echo-cancellation, and noise-suppression software support.
Also Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, uninstall IDT Audio drivers , restart the computer and install updated drivers from here and see if that helps.

Photosmart 5580 will no longer print from my wifes laptop, only from the desktop computer

Hello,
We have an HP computer with a photosmart 5580. We also have a lynksis wireless network set up for the home for all of the kids laptops. My wife and kids used to have the capability to print documents from their laptops. I am not sure if it was going through the wireless network or the bluetooth technology on the laptops. Recently we have run into the problem that they are no longer able to print from their laptops and even from the desktop we have not been able to print. I have had to reinstall the printer onto the desktop 2 times to make the printer work. But then a week or 2 later the computer stops recognizing the printer and I will have to reinstall it. The desktop is only 2 years old but it is barely used since everyone has a laptop. Also a friend of ours says that by doing a disk defrag on the computer that it messes up anything that we have connected to the computer. I strongly disagree with that statement and like I told my wife, if that were the case then the printer would have stopped working last year, but she takes this friends advice seriously and told me to stop the defrags completely.
I am thinking that it may be something in the registry that is causing this problem. Am I headed in the right direction or does anyone else have a different idea to correct this problem?
Thanks

Well, I think the problem is that the printer is getting a different IP address from the router periodically and the printer software cannot keep track of the printer.
The best way to fix this is to reserve an IP address for the printer so that it has the same IP address all the time. Do you need help doing this?
Unless I am missing something, this system is not using Bluetooth, but the Linksys 802.11 wireless system and defragging your hard drive has nothing to do with it (and is generally a waste of time, anyway).

Problem getting scan of pix from printer/scanner/fax machine

Long used P E to get pix scanned by printer/scanner/fax. Then I bought a slide scanner and installed, and PE brought in slides scanned by separate machine. Disconnected slide scanner. Now whenI try to get pix scanned by printer/scanner/fax, it says it "Can't find the slide scanner" and SHUTS DOWN. How can I reset PE to get the scanned pix from the printer/scanner/fax again. It has no trouble going to the printer/scanner/fax to print pix.
Cindi

Open Organizer and on the top menu click Edit à Preferences à Scanner
I tried the website and help searching for scan, I have had every PE since
2 and have 48,000 pix in my catalogue, so I'm pretty knowledgeable about
the program. I also searched under file. I usually go to Get photos and
thought it should give a choice under scanner there. Never thought to go to
Edit and Preferences.

Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one. Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

Hi,
My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
Scenario:
The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer, then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

Which Printer/Scanner/Fax

Can anyone recommend a good printer/scanner/fax that is compatible with my Powerbook G4? Right now I have the HP officejet 6110 all in one and the scanner does not work with my Mac (I had it when I used a PC) So I want to get a new printer/scanner/fax and want to know what is the best or a really good one that can doe everything (if it prints photos even better)
Thanks in advance....

Any AIO with fax does not require the Mac to be turned on to send and receive hard copy faxes. If you wanted to send from your Mac then of course it would have to be turned on.

I have an HP2840 running with Windows 7. Everytime I fax from the computer the print spooler STOPS.
I have to start, then stop, then start again everytime before any of my printers are available.
Is there a setting I need to change?

it sounds to me that the print spooler is crashing. Typically if the spooler crashes, when restarted it will try and process the job in the queue. If it crashes again, the job will be purged from the queue.

Does cnf1415wnf scan or fax from the printer directly to an email?

Does cnf1415wnf scan or fax from the printer directly to an email?

Hi!
To scan:
You may press the start scan button on the printers control panel or use the HP solution center that must be installed in your computer to scan a document or photo.
Scan to email:
Some printers don't have the option in the control panel for scan to email. Mostly it is with the HP solution center software that should be installed in your printer.
Note:
For Windows the software is called HP solution center
For Mac it is called HP utility
