Fax and Scan

When I had a computer meltdown, I upgraded from XP to a computer with Vista
Home Premium edition. I spent the extra money only to lose an important
feature, the ability to send faxes and to scan with my HP All-in-one psc
2410. I do not want to upgrade to Ultimate and pay for a bunch of features I
don't want and would not use. Microsoft should give a lot of thought to
selling Fax and Scan is an upgrade feature. It could be downloadable from
the Microsoft website.

Like many users, I've been using Microsoft starting with DOS-MS. I little
customer support with the lack of an important feature would be a good PR
move for Microsoft.

Your HP can fax in its own right as long as it is hooked up to a telephone
jack. What has this to do with lack of Fax capability in Vista Home Premium?

I have an HP 6110 AIO... and Vista Home Premium.
To send the few faxes that I do, I just print out a document, and fax it
manually, no big deal.

To scan, which I do very frequently, I purchased VueScan, which works very
well.

The HP will not fax from or scan to the computer using Vista without Vista
Fax and Scan even though it is connected to a phone line. This is per HP.
The HP control program does not appear and HP does not have a Vista driver
for download. I can probable fax a document from the glass, but then I can
just get a fax machine and do the same thing.

You don't need to fax through the computer. It will fax directly out. Re
scanning, Dave has offered a solution.
