Cannot Print to Microsoft Fax Printer Driver
This article was previously published under Q137752
Even though faxing from Microsoft Exchange may operate normally, you may
be unable to print to the Microsoft Fax printer driver from compatible
programs.
This behavior can occur if the Microsoft Fax printer driver is missing or
damaged.
To reinstall the Microsoft Fax printer driver, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
- Use the right mouse button to click the Microsoft Fax icon in the
Printers folder, and then click Delete.
- Click the Start button, and then click Run.
- In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK:
awadpr32.exe
This command rebuilds and reinstalls the Microsoft Fax printer driver.
Reinstalling the Microsoft Fax service in a Microsoft Exchange profile
does not reinstall the Microsoft Fax printer driver. If you remove the
Microsoft Fax printer driver from the Printers folder, use the method
above to reinstall it.
You can also reinstall the Microsoft Fax printer driver by removing and
reinstalling Microsoft Exchange, but this can be a complicated task.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
