I can not fax from document. I reinstalled several times. Download drivers. My computer sees the fax and the dialog pops up. But it does dail out. I can manually send a fax with no problem. I don't want to print out a document to send a fax, Can someone help?

@quiltbible, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Try using the HP Universal Fax Driver
- 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). - Open the extracted folder and run setup.exe
- Follow the steps on screen, an HP Universal Fax Driver printer will be created on your PC.
- 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-
- Ensure the HP drivers and software are installed.
- Ensure a phone line is attached to the “1-Line” port on the printer.
- Open the document you wish to send using any application.
- Choose the option to print, usually located under “File” > “Print” or
> “Print“. - Switch the printer to the “Fax – HP Officejet Pro 8620” option.
- Select “Print” or “OK“.
- Enter the phone number you wish to send the document to, then select “Send Fax“.
