HP LASERJET PRO CM1415fnw

[jdpatel1]

I live in china and I bought HP LASER JET PRO CM1415fnw from dubai thinking this medel is not available in China.

The printer is excellent the only missing point is it should have PC Fax. If I receive any fax it is better the printer can send the fax to email. 

Also its better if we can send fax from Computer.

This will help us in saving paper.

The printer is excellent, the model fnw can select wi fi and also the set up is very easy and very fast.

Also in the printer set up in cuntry selection only europe , America, Middle east and African countries are listed. Did not find much asian countries such as India and China.

Hope HP can develop still better softwares and better options.

Hello jdpatel1

Some HP printers do support Fax to Computer or Fax to Network folder. However, the Laserjet Pro CM1415 only supports sending documents from the Computer to the fax.

If you would like I could help you find a printer that does support Fax to Computer.

As for the country selection are you referring to the options in the install software?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I am aware, many printers have PC fax. Are you sure laser jet cm1415 can send the documents to the fax wireless?
What I meant is send the documents to the fax wireless and also send the fax wireless
If HP can develop such kind of updates than this printer will be excellent.
In country settings I don't find china.
Also HP website on selecting china it shows only Chinese language.
Since HP is week reckoned international brand they should have English and Chinese options for china.
Also HP equipment are made in China but in china local market all lab tops are sold loaded with Chinese Microsoft version. Even if we demand original English microsoft version laptops its not available. I bought one for my daughter in UK with English version Microsoft software and it was made in china.
This thing changed me to buy apple computers and I am very happy for the same.
HP should be aware there are many expats in china and they can't read or write Chinese so they must give language options to sell their products in china.

Hello jdpatel1

From what I can tell Print to Fax is not supported in Mac OSX. I did, however, locate an article that you may be interested in on the Apple Support site. It indicates you can create a special PDF that you can send to the printer/fax and it should fax out. Below is the excerpt and the link will be below that:

PDF

You can preview your print job as a PDF, or even save it as a PDF file (with metadata if you wish).

Click the "PDF ▾" button in any printer dialog box and the PDF workflow menu will drop down with these options:

1. Open PDF in Preview - A generated PDF of your print job will be opened in the application Preview.
2. Save as PDF... - Creates a PDF of your print job to a destination of your choice.  With options to add meta data to the PDF (Title, Author, Subject and Keywords).  This meta data can be a big help when you use Spotlight.  
   • Clicking "Security Options..." button will open the PDF Security Options dialog box.  Where you will have these options:
     1. Require password to open document
     2. Require password to copy text, images and other content
     3. Require password to print document
3. Save as PostScript... -  Generates a PostScript file of your print job to a destination of your choice.
4. Fax PDF - A generated PDF of your print job is sent to your Fax device for transmission.
5. Mail PDF - A generated PDF of your print job is attached to a new email document.  All you have to do is add recipients and send it.
6. Save as PDF-X - Generates a PDF-X of your print job to a destination of your choice.  PDF-X files follow a series of printing related requirements not found in standard PDFs, and are used by professional print shops.
7. Save PDF to iPhoto - A generated PDF of your print job will be imported into iPhoto.
8. Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder - A generated PDF of your print job will be saved to your "~/Documents/Web Receipts" folder.
9. Edit menu... - Let you add / remove printing Workflows.  See Automator on how to create new printing workflows.

Dear Sir,

I tried to install the CD suitable for MAC but it says it is not compatible with the latest version of 10.8.

It is only compatible with OS version 10.6 and lower.

Also I tried to download from Internet but same problem.
