Have you selected correct "default" device as fax-type through control
panel -> printers & faxes? More than one printer-compatible device/
device profiles may have caused this.

I suggest to post details how you are sending the data to the FAX.

I recommend you to search for printdialog.showdialog() inside your
code to see when it's fired which may help to fix the bug.

I guess you are using "Fax Service Extended COM API". Is this assumption
correct?

Maybe you are referring to the behavior described in the article below,
which is "by design":
