I HAVE WINDOWS XP, ONE PHONE LINE, NO PRINTER BUT I DO HAVE A BROTHER 770 FAX
MACHINE. I AM TRYING TO USE MY FAX MACHINE AS A PRINTER. CAN I USE THE
WINDOWS PC FAX OPTION AND FAX MYSELF A DOC? IF NOT IS THERE ANY WAY BASED ON
WHAT I AM WORKING WITH TO PRINT WORD DOCS TO MY FAX MACHINE WITH ONLY ONE
PHONE LINE?

Please turn off your caps lock. Typing in all caps makes your post
difficult to read and is considered to be the equivalent of shouting.

Assuming that your single phone line is how you access the Internet
(i.e., you don't use cable or DSL), then you could use a commercial
Internet fax service:

You would have to send the email to your phone number, then immediately
disconnect your computer and connect the fax machine and wait for the
fax to arrive. Buying an inexpensive printer would be far easier.
