WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
Complicated problem involving Windows XP SP3, WinFax Pro 10. Excel 2000,
Word 2000 and printers upon which I would some help.
The problem became apparent this morning when I selected WinFax in the
drop down File menu in a Word document. Normally this sends an
attachment to WinFax Pro. You add the name of the recipient and their
fax number and click on Send. This morning clicking on WinFax in Word
generated a Runtime Error 5140 -Word cannot Print. There is no printer
installed.
After nosing around I decided to uninstall WinFax Pro and then had a lot
of difficulty reinstalling. Eventually I succeeded. I can now send and
receive faxes but when received the faxes no longer automatically print.
Before uninstalling WinFax Pro I was able to send and receive faxes. The
automatic printing of faxes also worked this morning but it may have not
worked after I encountered the first problem as I only sent faxes after
the problem occurred.
The problem would seem to revolve around the system knowing what is the
Active Printer at any given time. Thus if you select Print the system
bring ups WinFax as the Printer and then trying to print produces the
Error. If you change the choice of printer to HP Laserjet 1200 the
document prints.
It is apparent that clicking on WinFax in a Word or Excel document
generates a macro which sets WinFax as the active and default printer
and after putting the document in the WinFax message as an attachment
it should restore the HP Laserjet as the default printer. The latter
does not happen.
One other Error message has been noted "Error on WinFax on Ne01.." Three
possible causes are mentioned. One mentions macros. Searching in Google
with WinFax + Ne01 as the criteria threw up the reference to macros and
Active Printers.
I have tried and failed to open what I take to be the macro. It is
locked and will not open. I renamed the macro in the XL Start folder to
old and copied a new one to replace it. It made no difference.
I tried System Restore but could only go back one day. It made no
difference. Further research suggested I might need to go back as far as
16 May as that is when I last used this particular facility. Between now
and yesterday I have updated Windows XP to SP3 and updated AVG from 7.5
to 8. Also I have installed Vista as a dual booting option.
My feeling now is that the macro itself may not be the problem. I have
checked both AVG 8 Free and Spybot S & D and found no evidence that they
have intervened. Other macros created by me for use with Excel still
work.
After writing this long epistle can anyone suggest how I might find out
what is preventing the macro from completing and returning the default
status from WinFax to the HP Laserjet printer? As far as I can see the
macro is unchanged so I think it must be something that controls
changing what is the default printer. I do not what this is!

The macros that should be checked are those being enabled in Office
2000. While there is a Winfax macro that facilitates the faxing of a
word document, Word macros, in many instances, will modify the global
features through the normal.dot template. If this is allowed, then it
is conceivable that selecting the Winfax print driver can make it the
new default printer. Perhaps best not to put the Winfax macro into
Office and rely on the manual method of (a) choosing the default
printer in the Printers applet, (b) selecting whatever printer to print
the document through the File>>Print route, and (c) saving the document
and exiting Word.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
Versions of WinFax later than version 9.x have proven to be largely
incompatible with Windows XP. WinFax, when installed on an XP machine
usually corrupts XP's Fax service to the point that it cannot be resurrected
without an OS re-install. Symantec no longer offers any real tech support
for this product. There are a number of group fax services available that
are compatible with XP, my suggestion would be to get one. You might also
want to see if Symantec has a user forum for WinFax; the primary focus for
this forum is Windows XP Fax.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
Not to argue with an MVP, but I have been using Winfax (successfully)
with XP since XP came out - now at Winfax ver 10.3. Symantec is no help
whatsoever & has not been for many years.
The macros I have for Winfax (as installed from the WF prog) work OK,
but do NOT return the default printer to what it was before you used WF,
all of the times. I simply wrote a macro for Word & Excel that does
return my default printer to what it was before.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
You posted an exception. Hal posted the rule. I doubt very many users will
be as successful as you, but it's nice to know it's worth trying if users
are game to give it a go on their own with no support.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion

My experience has been similar to Doug. It has worked well for nearly 4
years. It could the update to SP3 but WinFax Pro is still working,
except for the macro and having to manually print incoming faxes.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
Russ
I notice your speciality is Outlook. Whilst I have Outlook installed I
have never been comfortable using it. After reinstalling WinFax Pro and
whilst trying to reconfigure WinFax Pro it took an interest in the
existence of Outlook I had to insert my Office 2000 Professional CD.
Perhaps I need to check whether Outlook might be part of the problem. It
certainly would do no harm to check for updates.
Thanks for your response and support <G>.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion
At one time WinFax Pro was designed to integrate with Outlook. It was one of
the first things to go sour when WinFax Pro went belly up.

Re: WinFax Pro and Printer Confusion

Thanks for the advice. This is a dual boot computer and I am aware that
Outlook 2000 does not work with Vista. Apparently a problem with the
address book.
