HP Recommended
Product: hp colorlaserjet pro mfp m281fdw
Operating System: Linux

I am trying to fax a pdf file from my PC rather than printing it to paper and then faxing it from my All-in-one Printer. For that purpose there is a LINUX command hp-sendfax, which is invoked iin a terminal window.

 

When I invoke hp-sendfax, a series of small windows appears asking for the files to be faxed, for the fax recipient. Finally I press the <send fax> button.

This results in an error that I do not understand:

 

error: Unable to acquire fax token (3).

error: Fax send error.

error: Error, aborting.

 

I do understand the last two messages 🙂

 

Would be great if someone could explain what a fax token is and what the sendfax function actually  needs to acquire from where. Should I configure or reinstall something?
