Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Printing and Faxing / March 2007Vista home premium? FAX capable or not?
Please excuse my ignorance, This is my first pc, It is a HP M7780n media center with Microsoft vista home premium software, there is a fax modem program is the files, but I see nothing in the home premium about fax operation, My printer is a Canon Mp600 all in one with scanner, copier, printer,<no fax in the printer. Do I need a fax program, and will the scanner on the canon be able to send copied image to the pc? I would only use a fax feature once in a blue moon, SO I do not even know why I should even worry about it! Best Regards, Dave There is no fax program in Home Premium. If you want to fax you will have to upgrade to Ultimate, buy a stand alone program or subscribe to one of the internet fax services. > Please excuse my ignorance, This is my first pc, It is a HP M7780n media > center with Microsoft vista home premium software, there is a fax modem [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Best Regards, Dave Dont forget the other alternative please if you have the memory use Virtual PC and install XP, which has the fax service built in, or Win98se and Winfax/etc Most of us have these "old" OS's and software lying around :-P DominicM > There is no fax program in Home Premium.
