Windows Fax & Scan.

Win7 ult SP1

We use Windows fax & scan to receive faxes.

The faxes arrive and then just sit in the "Inbox".

Is there any way to have them printed out immediately via a network
printer as soon as they arrive?

Wait 'til the junx bombs hit.

Junx = fax spam

It also includes 'mailicious' junx bombs like black pages.

Please stop misinforming people and frightening them here. People
aren't using fax machines these days anymore. Most business is
conducted by email and web interface.

Not true.
Retail may be largely email and web but commercial and industrial business uses
a lot of fax.
One does not put a digital signature on a major project and email it off.

I have tried to convert customers, but some have Luddite staff who are
happy with the old clunker fax machines.

I forgot to add that most medical and insurance require a faxed signature.

They are not the only ones, either.

Another advantage of fax machines? Probably no one is trying to hack
into a fax transmission.

As others have said, they are still useful for certain applications.

"Good" Guy is being an idiot, as usual. Just because he no longer uses
a fax means no-one else should either.

Sadly some financial organisations will not accept a signature on a JPEG
scan of a document but will accept what is substantially the same thing, a
fax of a signed document.

It is a pain in the a**e when I want to withdraw money from a savings
account because I either have to post a letter or else fax a copy of that
letter. My new PCs (desktop and laptop) do not have a fax/dialup modem, so
it's a pain. With my old laptop (which suffered a CPU failure) I could scan
the document and send it off by fax using Windows Fax and Scan.

I asked them whether I could scan the signed letter and send it as a JPEG
attached to an email, but they said that was not acceptable and never would
be.

So, what most people do is not what Peter is doing. By printing the
faxes directly instead of holding them digitally in the computer, he
takes away a buffer from the problems of the 'bad old days' of junxing
and mailicious junx.

However, the fact that fax activity has diminished seems to have
diminished junx as well, so the old threat may be less significant.

Apart from this, do you know any spammer who is as stupid as most
posters here are willing to use the most expensive way of spamming
people? Email is the cheapest method while fax is the most expensive
method.

The people who are idiots are the ones still using Fax system IMHO and
this includes you for not thinking hard enough why fax is not efficient
way to communicate in the 21st century.

Did you ask them what is the difference between they printing your pdf
document sent by email on their all-in-one-printer or you printing that
same pdf document (i.e. faxing it) on their same all-in-one-printer? Ask
them and let us know what answer you get from them.
