setting up fax on HP envy photo 7855

[rebecca2021]

need help understanding fax set up.  i have a home phone landline service with Spectrum.  I do not have an independent fax machine.  I do not have a phone wall jack.  My phone is connected to a Spectrum E21N2V1 Docsis 3.1 eMTA Cable Modem.  How do I connect my AT & T telephone to my HP Envy Photo 7855?  I checked with HP and I should buy an RJ45 two conductor phone cable.

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

We can suggest using Mobile Fax via HP Smart app - can send out faxes only though.

This resource (example) will show how it's done:

If incoming faxes are a necessity, is it possible to have a dual phone splitter from Modem so that one line can go to the AT & T telephone and the other can go to the printer?

Hope that helps!

Thank you for replying to my querry.  I see the image of the dual phone splitter -- what is the brand, model and name?  If HP store has it, I will buy from HP store -- if not from Amazon.  but i need the name of the splitter.

I checxked with amazon and all that are available are for RJ11.  the HP required cable for fax setup is an rj45 2 wire cable.  Look I am spending an enourmous amount of time re. a simple fax set-up.  First of problem is that the HP Envy Photo 7855 printer that i bought in december 2021 did not come with the phone cable.  This is frustrating -- really.  Please help -- from technical support.  IU will also contact Best Buy Geek who was supposed to provide installation -- after i agreed  to pay nearly $200 for membership for a year.

Please HP -- help me properly set up my printer as I need for a lawsuit to protect my 97 plus year old mother.  Help

I found this splitter from Amazon.  Is this what I plug to my Spectrum E21N2V1 Docsis 3.1 eMTA Cable Modem , i.e. one standard telephone wire to my ATT telephone and the other to the HP Envy Photo 7855 printer?   Please repy asap please
