Yes, you can send a fax from the PC. Here is how:
- 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.

> “Print“. - Switch the printer to the “Fax – HP Officejet Pro 8620” option.

Hi, until recently, I was able to send faxes using the PC/HP Printer Assistant. Since yesterday, I am only able to use the printer manually to send faxes. When I try to use the PC I get the message it's in processing or printer is busy. I've checked the connections, turned off the printer to reset, restarted the computer, reset the speed dial, and ran a printer fax test for which confirmed connection is available. Can someone advise?
