The link inside the Printer Tasks "install a local fax
printer" is gray and will not work. The pull down for
the same trask does not work eather (no error msg, no
action at all) I have used two different drivers for the
fax modem with no change. How do I configuer the system
to use the fax modem?
 
Well . . . I already had the fax option installed in XP.
The driver for my fax modem was not supported by the
manufacture and didnt work properly. When I changed to
the genigeric modem driver (manually) the fax components
in XP needed to be uninstalled the system warm booted and
then the Fax componets reinstalled. Ta da! it works! My
search for this problem took me to many places on the
web. If soeone has a SurpraMax 56i modem they will most
likly need this info. and more!

The Fax Service is installed from Control Panel > Add/Remove > Windows
Components
You'll need your Win XP CD or whatever your original installation medium
was.
