Getting Fax failure, unable to send or receive.

Had this same problems a few months ago and HP support had me reset the printer to solve the problem.

Printer no longer under warranty and I did not save the info on how to reset the printer.

Thank you.

Can you still remember that you press and hold # and number 6 buttons on the printer to perform the reset that the HP chat support had told you before???
That's the reset I know of. You unplugg the power cord while the unit is on, and then press and hold the buttons # and 6 while replugging the power cord. Then wait for the printer to display something like reset and follow the prompts.

Thank you for the response but it did not fix the problem. Went through all of the steps with no good results.

Sometime last year I had the same issue and was fixed through a HP Chat because I was still under warranty.

My fault for not saving the chat document.

Thank you Kikokixz. I will give that a try.  I did try doing the # and 9 key process I read someplace else.

Thanks for sticking with me on this.

That did the trick kind sir.

After the # and 6 key reset, I ran the fax test and everything passed.

Thanks again. Will not forget that combination again in case the problem happens again.
