Sorry... I've never used that feature, so can't help. Have you tried the HP help pages?

Fax works fine, it will give you the option to print or not. also works with distinctive ring tone if you have the machine connected to one phone line. Wi-fi work great as well. Excellent value for the price.

It's not really a printer question you're asking but a network question. However - Microsoft insists that is the default setting. A printer connected with a computer you are operating through remote desktop would be available to you. There are several other ways to address this printer or any other printer remotely but that's not what you asked about.

Kathleen, I took some time tonight and checked out the system for the question you asked. The answer is Yes you can block fax's.

You probably have it on manual, which is what I use because I use the same phone line for my answering machine and talking. To get a fax in manual I tell the people sending a fax to contact me just before sending the fax. Then you need to make sure the power is on, and when they send the fax hit the "hook" button which answers the phone so the fax machine can take the fax, then you can turn the machine off. If you have a second phone line you can put the fax machine on that phone line input and put the machine on automatic. The cartridges are a bit expensive but their are refill companies that refill the empty cartridges for about $30. They usually just take your empty cartridge and give you one that has been already refilled.

In my case we have had no problems. The printer works great and the fax is outstanding. Have not had to scan anything, but that function should not be affected if you have a CD/or DVD drive. Contact customer service and they can advise you.

I've sent faxes using this machine. The problem is, because it uses so much ink, and once it's out of ink all other processes stop (which is REALLY annoying), I keep it unplugged until needed. When you leave it unplugged, the date and time need to be reset before you send a fax or they will be wrong on the fax receipt. This may not seem like a big deal unless you're faxing important legal documents, like bank, rent, or mortgage receipts.

I actually gave this printer a very poor rating, but Amazon had sent me the incorrect (but similar model). They made good on it for me. I don't see an easy way for you to accomplish what you want to do. Two suggestions: 1. Disconnect the phone line from the printer and only reconnect it when you want to send a fax. 2. If your phone is connected to the printer, install an inexpensive phone line splitter. Connect the input jack to the phone line; then connect one output jack directly to your phone and the other to your printer which would be removed as in 1. above.

Yes, but this printer misbehaves. Messages keep popping up on my screen for no reason when I'm not using it.

Yes, I use the modem with Windows Fax and Scan and it can be configured to only answer as a fax when you tell it to. When the computer is on and the phone rings a little box appears on the computer screen asking if you want to answer as a fax.

Without standing in front of the printer it would be impossible to give you a complete answer. I would start by turning off the "form tear off" option. There is a small chance that will fix your problem.

yes. But in a smaller amount. Plus, the ink costs more than the machine and doesn't last long. I use the machine for fax out only and have the print function turned off. Using the machine for incoming faxes would put you in the poor house.

Scan yes, but won't print only save to your computer or send. Fax will send but won't print a received fax.

You need to do that in the printer controls in your computer. Or you can always just turn the printer off, but it will continue when you turn it on again.

Sorry I'm not sure about that - we rarely receive faxes so they come in as received. You might download the manual and check there. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
