Unable to send broadcast fax


I am new to VISTA. We have an HPd135 all-in-one printer. With XP we
could send out broadcast faxes utilizing the hp officejet d series fax
driver, and our fax list in MS Access. Very easy.

Now, with VISTA fax and scan, VISTA wants to access our email addresses
in Outlook. I cannot access the HP fax driver or our fax numbers in MS
Access.

Do I have to start over and set up a fax list in Outlook. Does anyone
have a solution to this. We would have to redo hundreds of fax numbers.
Yikes!

Would appreciate any input you might have.

Re: Unable to send broadcast fax

Are you still using the same AIO printer?
Vista WFS does not support AIO devices, nor broadcast faxing.

Well, that would have been nice to know that VISTA doesn't support AIO
when we purchased our new equipment! I am emailing HP to see if they
have any solution to this. Thanks for the information. We are a
non-profit organization, and this is one of the ways we get our
information out to people.

Thanks again.

Re: Unable to send broadcast fax

FYI, Windows XP Fax didn't support AIO devices or broadcast faxing either. I
suspect you were using other fax software such as HP's software which they
may well have updated for Vista.
