1. Epson WF2660 wants to send Fax rather than print

I’ve just received an Epson WF2660 and have set it up to Wi-Fi. Once I attend print, it wants to send the file as Fax rather than printing it. How can I stop the fax box from arising once I hit the ‘print’ button? Hoping someone can help me with this.

2. Fax icon not in my “Printers & Faxes” on top of things panel

Installed a new Lexmark AIO 905 Printer on my Dell Inspiron 9400 using Windows XP. The printer works fine wirelessly, and Fax works fine on the console; however, I received a pop-up saying that each file wasn’t copied during found out. I de-installed, ran a disk clean-up, and reinstalled but something. The fax software didn’t fully install and missing the Fax icon in “Printers and Faxes.” Additionally, I can not fax within my programs because I can not choose the Fax printer from the sink print menu.

5. Can not Fax from Epson WorkForce 645

As recently as MacOS Sierra Nevada, I used to be ready to fax using my Epson WorkForce 645 printer. I had (and still have under MacOS Mojave) a printer shown in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners called “FAX Epson WorkForce 645 (IP)”. I can communicate to the present printer using Epson’s Fax Utility. But what I can not do is get to a “Recipient Settings” area when trying to print to the present printer from any MacOS application. So I do not have how to line a destination phone number for the Fax. The “Print…” from a MacOS application wont to provide this to me once I selected the Fax as my printer, and not does.

I have tried removing the two printers (Epson WorkForce 645 and FAX Epson WorkForce 645 (IP)) and reinstalling them. I even have reset the printing system. However, I note that the printer now installs saying “Use: AirPrint” toward rock bottom, which means Apple does not use the Epson printer drivers to speak to the printer. So I even have tried installing the printer with “Use: Epson WorkForce 645,” which I’m guessing reverts to using the drivers.
