fax printing problem

[Steve]

Hi

I have a Win2000 workstation with modem to receive fax, and it is set to
print incoming faxes directly to printer.

It prints fine. The thing is ... after it prints, the printer queue still
has the job showing with the status "Printed". And, it would do this for
all the incoming faxes.

The real problem comes when the PC is shut down and restarted. All the
faxes with "Printed" status in the queue would be sent to the printer one
more time. The queue would then be emptied out.

Sometimes the workstation would only be restarted after 2 or 3 weeks period.
This caused all the faxes shown in the printer queue to be printed all at
once. So, I was wondering where all these old faxes now coming out again
all of a sudden.

Please help.
Thanks
Steve

The way Fax prints its incoming faxes is pretty much straightforward and it
does nothing extra beyond a regular print. So this behavior would be caused
by settings/configurations outside of Fax. It might help to post this to the
printing newsgroups.

check the printer properties of the printer printing the faxes, see if "keep
printed documents" is checked.
