Won't print from laptop

smls25 — Sat, 28 Dec 2019 23:52:32 GMT

I have my PIXMA TR8520 printer set up wirelessly. However, when I try to print from my laptop (in a different room from the printer), the FAX screen keeps coming up. Can you tell me how to disable the FAX printing screen? The printer will only print when I go on my desktop, which is near the printer. Thank you!

Greetings,

What operating system is the laptop running?

Here's what I suspect. Your desktop is configured properly. The laptop is configured with the TR8520 FAX set as default.

Review the printers properties in:

(Windows) Control Panel > Device and Printers > Printer Properties

Or if

(MAC) System Preferences > Printers and Scanners

If you provide more information about your environment, it will be easier to try and help.

I am running windows 10. Laptop is a Dell Inspiron. Yes, the TR8520 is set as the printer for the laptop. I really appreciate any help you can give me!
