What's having a printer got to do with anything? You don't need a printer to
fax. I answered an indentical question to this only yesterday (I do so wish
people would learn to search the group before posting).

You cannot fax from your computer with the current set-up. You don't have a
modem (and before you say anything, that thing the cable company calls a
modem, isn't, it's a Network Interface Connector to a Wide Area Network - it
cannot fax because it doesn't recognise tone pulses. Do you dial a number to
connect to the net? No you do not - hence you cannot use it to fax).

If you wish to fax you must purchase an analogue, dial-up modem, or use a
subscription service such as eFax (which will prove very expensive if you
wish do a lot of faxing).

I suggest you purchase an analogue modem and hook it up to the phone line in
the normal way - you may need a filter to enable you to do this.

This is no trivial issue. There have been 99 messages and or
replies with DSL or cable in the subject since January 1, 2003.
There are probably more with these words in the bodies of messages
but one would have to open each one to search for them or do a
Google search for the words. Most of these messages come from those
who use the web-based newsgroups readers who fail to sort the
messages by subject and threads. These people are expecting a
personal response and do not follow up on their posted messages.

I have answered the questions about twenty times. Many times a
similar message is just above or just below the message to which I
responded. If I can read so can they. I have stopped responding to
those messages. I notice that you have not been very prolific in
helping anyone. Unless you are a lurker, you are in no position to
characterize the responses of those of us who try to help those who
ask for help after exhausting all other avenues.

Well said Earl! I plonked him (the **** who told me to take a hike, not the
OP). Though by 'characterise' do you mean 'chastise'? ;o)
