I have installed the MS FAX program, but as long as the printer is on it
prints them instead of sending them to my PC. I need to them to go to my PC,
but that means have I have to keep my printer off, which is a problem since I
need to print things alot. What am I doing wrong? As long as the printer is
off, they go to the PC.
 
In the control panel, Printers folder, rightclick the Fax icon, and 'set as
default'
 
By default they always go to the PC (Fax Console's Inbox). The print feature is
supplemental.

Open the Fax Console. Click on Tools > Configure fax. Follow the setup wizard to
the Routing Options. Under "When a fax is received" uncheck or disable the
"Print it on:" option.

If you prefer to have an additional copy sent to separate folder, activate the
"Store a copy in a folder:" option.

That box is already disabled.

If you don`t mind spending $20/£10 go to rkssoftware and d/l the fax
driver . It takes a lot of hassle away and much easier than MS fax .
 
install a pdf driver
and you can send
the faxes to print
to the pdf prnter
and produce a pdf
file instead of a
printed paper copy.

acrobat full version
or freeware like
"primo pdf" will work.
