My system is Microsoft Windows Business 7 - for the last couple months I have had problems with receiving faxes - once in a great while I will receive an unwanted travel brouchure but nothing else. I always get comm error 252 - what is it trying to tell me.

Hi @HPkj,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot receive faxes with your HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276 printer. I am happy to help!
According to this article, Interpreting Fax Error Codes, it states:
252 - Telephone line conditions were too poor to receive a fax.
Retry the fax reception when line conditions might have improved.
Configure the machine to start reception at a lower speed.
If the local machine received several pages of a larger document successfully, ask the remote user to send the document in several smaller parts.
I would also recommend going through this guide, Cannot Send or Receive Faxes, just in case.
