Post subject: Fax and Scan Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>print_fax_scan (more info?)
When I had a computer meltdown, I upgraded from XP to a computer with Vista
Home Premium edition. I spent the extra money only to lose an important
feature, the ability to send faxes and to scan with my HP All-in-one psc
2410. I do not want to upgrade to Ultimate and pay for a bunch of features I
don't want and would not use. Microsoft should give a lot of thought to
selling Fax and Scan is an upgrade feature. It could be downloadable from
the Microsoft website.
Like many users, I've been using Microsoft starting with DOS-MS. I little
customer support with the lack of an important feature would be a good PR
move for Microsoft.

Your HP can fax in its own right as long as it is hooked up to a telephone
jack. What has this to do with lack of Fax capability in Vista Home Premium?

The HP will not fax from or scan to the computer using Vista without Vista
Fax and Scan even though it is connected to a phone line. This is per HP.
The HP control program does not appear and HP does not have a Vista driver
for download. I can probable fax a document from the glass, but then I can
just get a fax machine and do the same thing.

I have an HP 6110 AIO... and Vista Home Premium.
To send the few faxes that I do, I just print out a document, and fax it
manually, no big deal.
To scan, which I do very frequently, I purchased VueScan, which works very
well.

You don't need to fax through the computer. It will fax directly out. Re
scanning, Dave has offered a solution.

I recently purchase the Microsoft Vista Business Edition and can't seem to
send/receive fax using the Windows Fax and Scan. The HP 6530b Notebook has a
built-in Agere modem and I'm hooked up the phone line to the notebook. What
am I doing wrong?

How could we know? We have no idea what you're doing. Pretend this is a
newsgroup and we aren't there watching you. Provide the following
information:
1. Whether your modem is on the VHCL
2. How you configured your Fax Account and any error messages you got when
you did so.
3. How you are sending the fax (complete detail).
4. What happens when you try to send a fax.

I disagree with Dave. It is a big deal that we consumers of Vista have to go
back to the dark ages and fax documents as such instead of leveraging the
convenience of our computer technology. We multitaskers don't have time to
consistently print and fax ...
