Try using the HP Universal Fax Driver

  1. Download and extract the following:
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL60874/ds-146586-1/HPUFDDriver.zip
    (Use any software like Winzip or right-click the file and select Extract All).
  2. Open the extracted folder and run setup.exe
  3. Follow the steps on screen, an HP Universal Fax Driver printer will be created on your PC.
  4. Print to the HP Universal Fax Driver, select your printer and check the box to add a queue for your printer.

Keep me posted.

Follow the steps below-

  1. Ensure the HP drivers and software are installed.
  2. Ensure a phone line is attached to the “1-Line” port on the printer.
  3. Open the document you wish to send using any application.
  4. Choose the option to print, usually located under “File” > “Print” or  Android menu button > “Print“.
  5. Switch the printer to the “Fax – HP Officejet Pro 8620” option.
  6. Select “Print” or “OK“.
  7. Enter the phone number you wish to send the document to, then select “Send Fax“.
