Network Fax driver for TASKalfa2551ci not working on Server 2012

[Moti M.]

Hi

We have the next problem at one of our customers with TASKalfa 2551ci:

On Server 2012 R2 Network Fax driver version 4.0.0930 is installed with sharing to 32 bit stations.
Sending fax from server or windows 7 stations (32 and 64 bit) causes this error message:

Also Network Fax drivers version 4.0.1512b didn’t work.

Sending fax directly from this machine is works well.

We have already installed on this server , FS-1128 and FS-3140+MPF shared network Fax drivers that works fine (also ver 4.0.0930).

This customer have another old server 2003, The Network Fax for TASKalfa 2551ci driver is installed there too with no problems like this.

What can be the problem with this model on Server 2012 and sharing to windows 7 stations?

Thanks,
Moti

Make sure WSD is enabled on the machine.

Make sure WSD is enabled on the machine.

Yes, WSD Print and Scan is enable

If I remember correctly the fax driver is not intended for installation as a shared driver on a server. It only works as a local driver. =^..^=

Blackcat is correct. The driver needs to communicate with the MFP and it's not possible on a server/share installation. It must be local.

Hi guys, does anyone know if you are able to install a network fax driver for the TA3212i on a 2008 R2 server and have it shared to thin clients

Make sure driver has manage printer checked also that its IP port is the address of copier Not a WSD port. A local install would most likely be better as user can customize there own fax cover page.
