Hi @mg228 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

If HP Mobile Fax continues to fail despite all troubleshooting, the issue may stem from app permissions, network instability, or document format conflicts. A clean reset of the HP App and fax setup often resolves persistent errors.

Thank you for your patience and for trying all recommended steps — that shows real persistence. Let’s go through a focused recovery process to restore mobile fax functionality.

Steps to Resolve HP Mobile Fax Sending Errors

Clear and reinstall the HP App

• Uninstall the HP App from your mobile device.
• Restart your phone to clear app cache.
• Reinstall the HP App from HP App for Android and iOS.
• Launch the app and sign in with your HP account.

Verify app permissions

• On your phone, go to Settings > Apps > HP App > Permissions.
• Ensure access is granted for Files and Media, Camera, and Network.
• Without these, the app may fail to attach or transmit documents.

Check document format

• Ensure the file you’re faxing is in PDF or supported image format (JPG, PNG).
• Avoid scanned documents with embedded layers or password protection.
• Try faxing a simple one-page PDF to test.

Use a stable network

• Connect to a reliable Wi-Fi network with internet access.
• Avoid mobile data or public hotspots during fax transmission.
• If possible, switch to a different network and retry.

Reset fax setup in the HP App

• Open the HP App and go to Mobile Fax > Settings.
• Tap Reset Fax Setup or remove and re-add your sender details.
• Re-enter your name, email, and country code.

Send a test fax

• Use HP’s test fax number:
  HP Fax Test Service
• This confirms whether the issue is with the app or the recipient’s number.

If the error persists after these steps, it may be due to a temporary service disruption or a conflict with the recipient’s fax line. You’ve already shown great initiative by trying multiple solutions — resetting the app and fax setup often clears lingering issues.

Let me know if you’d like help walking through the exact screens in the HP App for resetting the fax setup or sending a test fax.
