How do I send a fax from Office Depot?

I have ZERO cell service at my home location, would be lost without my 2 wire landline and DSL....And yes my 2-3 year old HP printer/scanner has RJ11 ports, would be silly to have FAX machine without landline connection...

It's funny how quickly we can become conditioned to new normals. I have to keep reminding myself that no special service contract is required to send and receive faxes. :D

I think many people no longer have land lines (plain old telephone service, pots), so having the printer that can do it doesn't help much.
Mine uses wifi

my 1 year old HP office jet printer all in one also has a fax option...problem is i dont have a landline at the house. i guess if i really tried i could route it thru my cell phone, if i could figure out how to do it. but, i dont need a fax so i guess i wont ever figure it out.

And all this started by an OP that sure looks like a spammer...

Maybe we could fax him this thread! 🤪

Welcome to modern technology.
Do you know who is sends the files to for them to be faxed?

If it's using WiFi, it's sending the image files somewhere on the internet, and that somewhere will then use old fashioned phone service to transmit the images to the literal fax machine on the other end - this includes computers set up to receive faxes and turn them into image files - they're still using the old fashioned fax protocols on the POTS. Meanwhile, your fax is sitting on a server somewhere subject to that intermediary's policies, which is the reason someone wasn't wanting to use an internet fax company... which is what your wifi fax machine is doing if it doesn't have a POTS line.

Modern technology, indeed.
