Where is the fax printer?

[Nigel Molesworth]

I don't seem to be able to find the fax printer, on XP it installed
automatically when it found the fax modem. Where is it?

Depending on your version, it is on the Start Menu.

Home Premium.

Where on the Start Menu? I can't find it there, or in Help.

AFAIK, Windows Fax and Scan is available only in Business and Ultimate.

That sucks!

So I have no Fax printer anymore? I use this all the time

Did you read the features each version had before selecting your version?
It's gotten a lot more complicated than it used to.

You'll have to pay MS more $$ to do an step-up upgrade to Ultimate.

Out of interest, and ignoring any licence issues, is it possible to
copy the faxing software from Ultimate to Home Premium?

This is really a shame. What do they think at MS? As if only businesses
would send faxes and scan documents. They really need to think better
next time they release an OS. This is one more reason to keep XP.
