Won't automatically print received faxes?

Hi all,
I turned on the fax option on my powerbook G4 today. I can send and receive faxes fine. The problem is that when I receive a new fax, it doesn't print. I checked off the box in fax and print setup to automatically print any received faxes, but it doesn't. The printer is hooked up to the airport extreme base station like it has always been. I can manually open the received fax and then print it out, but it is supposed to print out automatically when the fax is received. I already tried unlocking the padlock and resetting the print automatically setting, but it didn't make any difference. Can anyone help with this? I really need this to work.
Thanks
-Tom

Hello again,
I got it to work finally. I didn't realize that you had to specify the printer in two places in the fax preferences. Now it is working fine.

HP8600 Plus won't send or receive fax after firmware upgrade

Hi All,
Suddenly my HP8600, refuses to send or receive fax. I get the message "Can'r send or receive fax" immediatley after power up. I have a strong feeling that the problem started after an automatic firmware upgrade to version OJP8600_N911a_R1435A . Unfortunately there does not seem to be a simple way to downgrade or is there? HP refuses to tell. I have checked the telphone line and the connection also tested with another fax machine. I tried resetting several times without any success. It is just out of warranty and works perfectly in all other respects.
Do someone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Bondra12 , welcome to the forums
I understand you now cannot send or receive a fax, and I am here to share my suggestions with you.
No, you cannot reverse a firmware upgrade from my knowledge. I would suggest however, troubleshooting the fax problem by trying out the steps from this guide: Cannot Send or Receive Faxes
If the problem does happen to continue, and I wish that it doesn't, to give us a call to see if you have any out of warranty printer options.

HP 7280 All-in=one - can you automatically print the fax log?

On my old HP, you could set a regular day for it to automatically print fax logs. I can't find that setting on the HP 7280 (Win 7 computer), and I often forget to print out a log. (and nothing appears in the fax log box from the HP Solutions Center).
Does anyone know if there is a way to set up a log auto print? Or retrieve faxes from prior to the last 30? thanks

Hey there @MSS1 ,
I read about how you are wanting information on printing out fax logs from your Photosmart C7280.
I just wanted to respond with the information I have found. Click here and start on page 142 to read about printing the faxes in the memory. Also, I do not personally believe you can reprint faxes older than 30 days from the history.

Laserjet 600 M601 (CE990A) won't automatically print from envelope feeder

All I want to do is have the envelope automatically print (without me walking over to printer and hitting the OK button).

Figured it out. In Word, under printer options, change feed from to envelope

Messages won't automatically preview received pictures?

When I had OSX 10.8, the messages app showed recieved pictures that were attached to images automatically. Now I have 10.9 and I have to select the name of the image and hit the spacebar to actually see it.. Is there a way to change this?

Hi,
I have no problems in seeing inline pictures sent from other computers or from my iPhone.
There is also no setting to view the pic when they are displayed as yours are.
However I sometimes see a chat displayed that way when reopened (File Menu > Recent Items) and also when the File Transfer has failed (clicking the spyglass opens the File Transfer window and double clicking there will sometimes display it in Preview).
I have seen one other post on this so far and do not have enough info yet to suggest a cause.

MY HP 2840 will not print, receive faxes, or scan documents. Do I need more memory?

I have windows 7, 32 bit operating system. I was getting error messages that said page too complex, even with simple documents. Now, I'm not getting that message on the printer screen, but on the computer screen I get "error printing" when I click on the printer icon. If anyone has a solution, please help me with this. I've already reinstalled the printer and drivers several times. Not sure if I opted for the correct driver. I've been told that perhaps I need to add memory to the printer. If this is the case, how do I go about doing that?
Thanks for your help!

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @conniew8986
I saw your post about how you cannot print, however scanning and copying works fine.
I have a few things to ask you and some things to try.
Please respond to me with the following. If there are any steps here that you have not tried, please try them before responding and include the result:
How is the printer connected (USB/ wireless/ wired/ Bluetooth)?
Have you tried printing from different programs?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software?
Run the Print and Scan Doctor and include the results.
Did you make any recent changes to your set up (physical move, upgrade, downgrade, new software installed, new router, etc)?
Is the printer plugged directly into the wall outlet (avoiding power bars and surge protectors)?
Have you completed all Windows Updates?
Have you tried using a different USB/Ethernet cable?
Thank you

Automatic printing of a document linked to an Equipment

Good day SAP Experts,
I have a question which I hope there is a simple answer to within SAP.
I have created some documents that are stored in a seperate pc and are linked to SAP PM equipments. (Transaction CV01N)
I can follow the link from the equipment back to the document, open and view/change this document and also when the document is open, I can print it.
So far so good, now is the tricky bit, I create a PM work order for this Equipment, I can see there is a document linked to the equipment, so I want this documnet to be printed automatically when I release and print the work order.
To put it simply, my request is similar to having received an email with an attachment, I want the attachment to be printed in full when I request the email to printed.
In the customising of DMS I have found :
Application Type
This key controls the processing of original application files with applications in document info records.
Use
For authorization purposes, you can define the following settings for each application, depending on the data carrier type:
1 - Display
2 - Change
3 - Print
But I cannot get option 3 to work or am I misunderstanding the use of "3-Print"
Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.
Leslie

Hi Leslie
The print function in workstation applications won't automatically print the documents attached to an equipment. This function is designed to allow you to print using the print button in a SAP DIR or from CV04N, not for automated printing when a work order is released. This would require either an ABAP enhancement or a product like Seal.
The problem with linking a document to an equipment and printing it is that the equipment could have any documents linked including photos and numerous procedures or work instructions designed for different tasks. Unless all documents are relevant for all tasks, you could easily find yourself in a position where you end up printing 5 documents you don't need every time you release an order. This is the reason that the best technical solution is rather to link the document as a product resource tool to a maintenance order or task list. This indicates in SAP that the document is a tool required for that specific maintenance order or task and you can select different documents for different tasks and the order in which the documents should be used because without this the results could have serious safety impacts. I.e. ensure that the person follows the tag out procedure before trying to do another task on the equipment.

Automatic printing of a 'test' sheet

Every time I turn on the ptr (the c3100 all-in-one) it insists on printing a test page. How can I stop this? Ink cartridges are expensive!
The ptr is connected to a Compaq laptop by a USB cable; the OS is Vista.

Automatically print a PDF from received emails.

I'm trying to make Mail and Automator work together so that everytime I received a email (that I sended myself so I can print it on my mac) it's automatically printed and everything's cleaned up after.
I know nuts about automator, so here's what I did so far.
I config'ed mail with a rule that states that if "printthisplz" (my keyword) is in a mail, move it into the "mailprint" mailbox.
From there, I made an automator workflow that will get the email from that mailbox "mailprint", Get attachments from these mails (being in this case PDFs only) saving them to a folder named "mailprint" on my mac, then "Print" finder items. I also added in the end to Move those Finder items to trash.
At first it seemed to work, except it presented me the printing window of my printer, then said it was completed while nothing printed. The second run showed an error, which was corrected by adding Move to trash (apparently it won't work if there's already a file with the same name in the folder).
So it seems to be fine, if we consider that it should print normaly (which isn't the case so far), but I want to make it run by itself (e.g: whenever a mail is moved to that mailbox, trigger xx workflow or "print the attachments of the mails").
Thanks if anybody can help me with this!
PS: I know that I can share my computer's printer over a local network and in fact, that's what I've done. Unfortunatly the stubborn PC down there don't seem to pick up good the printer and I always find myself sending an email. Also autoprint from a remote place could be very cool at all.

Automatically print fax call report from LaserJet 500 MFP M525

How do you set up an LaserJet 500 MFP M525 to automatically print out a Fax Call report after each fax is sent? We are receiving a report after each fax is received and I do not want that. I need to have proof of fax sent. Please help!!! thanks

Hi mllundee,
Sorry about that, I must have grabbed the wrong link when I wrote the message. :-s
I am looking for the User Guide for the LaserJet 500 MFP M525 now. Page 153 lists the notification setting. This should be the setting to get a report on sent faxes.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the Administration button.
2. Open the following menus:
Fax Settings
Fax Send Settings
Default Job Options
Notification
Please let me know if this helps or not.

Receiving faxes - printing vs not printing

Weird thing just happened. I have my G5 set up to receive faxes, and rather than printing out faxes I have them saved as a pdf and e-mailed to me. It's been working fine for a long time now.
But I just received a fax that printed itself out on my Brother All-In-One. Only a half-hour ago I received a fax that saved to pdf properly, without printing, so I know that my settings are in effect and I haven't done any updates or configuration changes that might have changed that. And I just checked Printing/Faxing in System Preferences and my settings are still selected correctly.
Is there any way to figure out how this happened, and to stop it from happening again? Both faxes were junk faxes, and I like for faxes to NOT print out precisely because I don't want to waste paper and toner on all the junk faxes I receive.

Hi @CHP0801
Is Telstra an ISDN, ADSL, PBX, or VoIP line? If so, please take a look at the following document to ensure you have the fax connected correctly; How to connect your HP Fax Device to an ISDN, ADSL, PBX, or VoIP line.
If the issue persists, and/or if Telstra is not an ISDN, ADSL, PBX, or VoIP, please use the following document to troubleshoot the issue; Cannot Send or Receive Faxes: Troubleshooting Fax Issues.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Fax sends but won't receive faxes

I can send faxes using HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Fax but I cannot receive them. I have faxed test pages and the setup is correct. Any suggestions?

Hello DBrad8,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to receive a fax using the Laserjet MFP M177. I will do my best to assist you! First, I need to find out what type of added features do you have on your fax line? Please post these information on this thread.
Do you have an answer machine on this line? If so, how many rings to answer is this set to?
Do you have an Internet Service on this line?
Please follow this entire HP document on Cannot Send or Receive Faxes. Run a fax test page and let me know if everything passed or if anything failed. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
