Won't print from laptop

[smls25]

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!
