I have and HP all in one( Windows 10 operating system) hooked to a Epson 545 workforce printer. My other computer on the home network is an HP desktop ( with windows 7 operating system) hook to an HP Photosmart 7520 series printer. The problem is the HP Photosmart 7520 Has set itself as a Fax-HP Photosmart 7520 series printer on the All in one computer. It will not print from the all in one as a fax How do I set the printer as just a printer, not a fax machine.

Hi,
Thanks for using the HP Forums.
Can you go to Control Panel > Printers and Devices > HP Photosmart 7520 series printer.> Right Click on "Set as Default printer" and select the non-Fax printer.
If no printer is selectable, then would suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the FULL feature software.
1. Uninstall the software in your computer
2. Download and save the FULL feature software (do not install it online)
The following resource will help you :

Key in your printer model, Operating System and download & install the FULL feature software.
3. Install the FULL feature “Saved” software
Once you have downloaded and installed the FULL feature software, you will be able to print and scan.
If you are not sure how to do this, the following resource will walk you through the steps:
