Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to Scan.

HP LaserJet Pro M426fdw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Purchased this MFP and was told I could connect it to the network and be able to send a fax from my workstation to it.  The install created the printer but not the fax printer.  Can you actually fax through this MFP from your workstation or does it need to be connected USB for this to work?

The driver in the link does not exist on the server. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=7529320&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192

I searched for drivers for the M426fdw but it did not show a fax driver.

The links above a no good the server does not exist in global DNS.  Please have somebody at HP restore the fax driver.  It is pretty ridiculous buying a new printer that does not have a PC fax driver.
