WinFax Pro

I tried to install WinFax Pro on my desktop (XP) and after
installation, my previosuly installed printers did not work. is there
a way to install the program and keeping my printers working? I have a
Laserjet and an OfficeJet printer now attached. Thanks

Re: WinFax Pro

did you reboot after the install so the printer spooler service restarts?
during setup the printer spooler is stopped, so its possible it didn't
restart causing all your printers to fail.
restarting the printer spooler should solve the problem. You can also check
at http://www.getfaxing.com/support.htm go to the support forums link.

Re: WinFax Pro

It is WinFax Pro 10 and yes, I did restart but maybe something went
wrong. I will try once again. Thanks

Re: WinFax Pro

OK. I re-installed the program and my printers are working. For some
reason I do not have a desktop icon for winfax in spite of the fact I
asked for that during the installation. In windows explorer I see the
folder Winfax but now I do not know how to get that shortcut so I can
try the program. Can someone help? Thanks

Re: WinFax Pro

i'd suggest asking in the forums at the getfaxing.com site as this newsgroup
is for Microsoft Vista Printing Faxing & Scan, not WinFax

Re: WinFax Pro

Go to start/all programs and find WinFax program. Put cursor on program and
right click then copy. Next put cursor on desktop and right click and press
paste. This will put a desktop icon of the program on your desktop.
