I have tried to fax daily from my desktop as well as my mobile app and every time I hit send fax I received the same message “It seems that an error has occurred before the sending process. Please, try to send your fax again.” I have restarted my printer, unplugged the printer for 60 seconds, deleted the HP Smart app and downloaded it again and I still receive the same message. I see others with the same issue but with different types of printers. I hope to fix this issue very soon or I will have to go with a different product that meets my business needs. Has anyone found a solution?

Welcome to the HP Community --
Unless the several years long "Trial Period" for Mobile Fax as finally morphed into a paid subscription service,
HP Mobile Fax "in Trial" application usage is provided free of charge -- and generally works.
When it does not work there is no actual support for trial software.
Note: Scroll down for the link and the information we have for HP Mobile Fax
Subscription?
If the HP Mobile Fax service is now in a paid subscription mode -
That is you were offered a plan and you have subscribed to HP Mobile Fax,
(and)
If you cannot reach the Mobile Fax subscription support team,
Let us know and I will notify our Moderator Team.
Reminder: Do NOT post any private information here.
Well, I'm leaving...
The printer might not be the right product for you -- the printer does not have a Fax hardware component.
This means you cannot fax from the printer.
This product is dependent on an "electronic Fax" type of fax service.

Section Fax
If you wish to change products due to the product you have not meeting your needs, you must do that.
We do not judge what people decide.
What else?
There are paid "efax" services -- and maybe even "Fax for free" services.
Be aware that any free service will be limited to the specifications of that service.
For example,
Will the service protect your data?
Will the service see your data?
Read the details to make sure any service - paid or free - protects your rights.

Create a new HP account under a different email address.
I did it and can now send faxes.
Thanks to member "DairyFax" in the HP Support Community.
From DairyFax:
After 24 months the trial period the HP Mobile fax App no longer works.
"...the HP Smart App that blocks a fax from sending after the 2 year trial period, even though there is no way to buy a subscription or a need to buy a subscription to fax, since even the HP Smart App team indicated HP is not requiring or even selling fax subscriptions."
