TR8520 keeps faxing

[obxpavsr]

Hello!

Looking for a permanent solution to a persistant problem:

Each day begins with the printer sending jobs to FAX... Regardless of the "TR8520 Printer" selected.

Once the printer and all assoociated drivers, software are removed and reinstalled, all is well for the balance of the day. (This has been accomplished three times)

Any help would be greatly appriciated! -obxpavsr

The printer is attached to the network wireless. Pish button WPS was used to make the connection.

Hello Arthur J,
A workaround has been successful. Connecting via bluetooth has provided a reliable method for connecting to the printer.
