shared fax from 2003 srv does not work on vista??

[Guest alexbelli@nospam.nospam]

I have a 2003 srv with a microsoft shared fax printer that works perfectly

with xp client.

If I connect to this shared fax from vista, it install, but if I send fax it

go to the local fax printer and not go to the fax server .

From printer folders, If I open the linked fax, I always see the local fax

queue and not the server queue.

Why? Is this a bug??

Thank you

Alessandro

Hi Alex,

 

In Vista when you are specifying the fax server, you mys list it as

\\<ServerName> rather than just listing it out. It is a slightly different

syntax than XP.

 

See if that works. If not, there are some other things to try.

I conntect to the fax server by browsing the network, find the server, the

sahred fax printer , select it and choose connect.

I don't understand you indication, what should I do?

I've also tryed to add printer from printer and fax vista's forder, specify

the port as \\server\fax but then it ask for drver that I don't know where

to found.

Bye
