Windows 7 Fax and Scan no longer works

• The link "FAX and SCAN" is not working (says no link) on my Vista Ultimate desktop.

  Hello:

  I've never used the link "FAX and SCAN" until that earlier, and it failed.  How can I fix?  I have Vista Ultimate (SP2) with all the patches and updates.  I use a gateway GT5438 desktop (with DSL, works very well) connected to a HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one who has a FAX option.  How can I solve this problem?  Thank you.

  Fax works through the telephone system. Your HP printer may let you fax directly from the printer, if it is connected to a telephone line, you will need to consult your documentation.

  You can search electronic fax software that allows you to send a fax by downloading on a server such as efax.

• Windows 7 «fax and scan Windows»

  I rarely work on my computer, please bare with my lack of computer knowledge... My printer is also a scanner. Six months ago, that I was able to scan from devices in the start menu by clicking on my printer of course.   I went to scan a copy of a license and send it, but when I chose my printer the analysis option wasn't there. So, I chose windows fax and scan on the start menu, not sure whether or not it was already downloaded from the "Start" menu. In any case, now the scan option is on my printer in the devices but when I scan something it sends everything I scan to windows media or photo program.  Before the fax Windows and research, I was able to analyze one or more sheets, and then send it to who ever or save it anywhere. Now, I'm really hurt. I need my old scanner back as it was under my printer. I need to start scanning of documents a week for a job and right now, I'm lost. I hope that this will make some kind of sense.  Help!

  These days, most manufacturers have pdf copies of their online User Guides.  Go to the Support section of the Web site of the manufacturer of your and look for your specific model.

• Yoga pro 900 has just done a windows 20 update and wifi no longer works

  Just tried to get on my wifi and I get this message:

  "One or more network protocols are missing on this computer."

  Nothing in the resolution of the problems will solve the problem. * beep * happens.

  Hi mstinagray,

  Assuming you mean Windows 10, I have not had this problem on my Yoga 10 Pro 900 running.

  It may be a driver issue. There was a update driver WiFi posted on 3 November. Maybe try to install that. (You would need to download it using another computer, put it on a USB stick and move it to the 900, so you can install it.)

• Windows 7: Windows Fax and Scan - can't get it to automatic backup to a network

  We use Windows Fax and Scan (Version 6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1)-this is the version included with our client for 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise OS

  I just installed a scanner in a sleep laboratory, scanner works perfectly. There are several sleep technicians that will connect to a computer with the scanner (so short of several user profiles) and patient scan RXs.  Problem is that sleep manager wants the scans to record automatically in a central location for any technology connects in their analyses will record in the same place as everyone else.

  The key is the AUTOMATIC backup.

  This is so the news of background - at the heart of the question... it seems a feature that offers Windows Fax and Scan does not work.

  If you go in fax and scan, there is an option in the tools of-> Scan routing.  If you read on the functionality of its supposed to save AUTOMATICALLY in the network shown, its not to do so.

  So I check the box 'Save in the network folder' (don't know the exact wording)

  (I use xxx because I don't want to publicly share real location) \\xxx\xxxxx\xxxxx\Neuromuscular.

  This is 100% valid and share name of work - used for years many people save to it... Windows Fax and Scan says "sharing network not valid."

  If someone said just use \\server\share

  OK I create a folder on my computer, we'll call it Computer1 and name sharefolder. I share and give "everyone" access read/write... sharing is \\Computer1\Sharefolder.

  Plug in Windows Fax and Scan - it don't be complaint that it is a bad sharing more. So I think that a lot!

  I scan a test page - this isn't automatic registration to \\computer1\sharefolder.  I can come here, but that defeats the whole point of the analysis of routing.

  Sleep lab will be scanning hundreds of slips of Rx by day, management won't allow lost time by manual movement of the images to the save location.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. Got to be honest I'm a little irritated right now because I think its Microsoft as announced a feature in one of their applications is not working.

  Thank you

• Has anyone seen a fax USB modem that works with Windows Fax and Scan?

  So far I'm 0 for 2.  PC Fax modems seem to be a lost art.  A few months ago, I tried a USB fax modem and tested the receipt of the fax.  The modem answers the phone, the fax sender starts the transmission and... nothing happens.  Eventually, the sender times out with an error.   Same computer, same Windows Fax and Scan software, with an old modem connected to a serial port, all works well.  Modem manufacturer was not able to help.

  And now the same problem with another PC, the modem is different, different situation.  This time I don't have an easy fallback to a serial port.

  And that leads to my question - no matter that matter where in fact seen a fax-modem USB in the field send and receive faxes using Windows Fax and Scan on Windows 7, and if yes, what was the make and model?

  Thank you

  -Greg Scott

  Hello Greg,.

  Thanks for the quick response.

  You can view the reviews of the product in the manufacturer's Web site and see if that helps.

  Also for the Windows Fax and Scan, when your PC or computer would be equipped with a fax modem (or connected to a fax server), it can send and receive documents such as a standalone device. Windows Fax and Scan even includes a handy tool for the design of custom cover pages.

• Windows Fax and Scan cannot detect Photosmart C4580 all-in-1 scanner connected to the wireless network

  I have no problem printing or scanning when I connect my C4500 to PC via USB.  When connected via my home wireless router I can print OK but can not scan - it's the same for other users and computers.  Windows Fax and Scan gives me the message 'no scanner found. '  I need to work so that all users on my netwrok home can share the scanner.  I use Windows 7 64-bit.

  Thanks Travis_C (HP).  I actually found the solution just before receiving your answer!  I discovered that, although the Solution Center says it would uninstall the existing files before allowing me to reinstall with the latest version downloaded, it didn't remove all the files.  I only discovered this because the new facility has not taken me through the whole fresh installation procedure, he simply asked me what additional features I wanted to install and asked me if I wanted a local printer or network etc.

  I thought that there must be a mistake or problem with whatever existing files were left and the new facility would not correct it.  So I used the control panel to uninstall the existing files, and I made sure that everything was gone.  I then used the last download to reinstall, this time through the new correct installation procedure, and everything now works perfectly.

  With this method I always had a problem on another PC, giving me the same problem I had before.  I realized that this was due to a USB dongle connected to the PC to a wireless keyboard that seems to affect the installation.  When I removed the dongle installation worked again perfectly, and I now have full printing and scanning ability on all PCs.

  I think the installer for this printer wireless (and perhaps others?) should be updated to solve the problem, and also the center of Solution must be fixed to ensure that if you uninstall the software it should not leave anything.
