Overview

 

GFI FaxMaker is configured to auto-print incoming faxes, but nothing is being printed out on the designated printer.
 

This article provides the steps to fix this problem caused by permission issues.

On the GFI FaxMaker machine:

  1. Go to Start > Run > type in eventvwr.msc and hit Enter.
  2. Go to Applications and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows > PrintService > Admin.
