Windows 7 Challenges with Network Faxing from Desktop PCs on Home Network

[YBY]

Hello,

My home network contains 3 PC's: 2 desktop machines (Win8.1, Win7) and an additional Win7 machine used as a file and printer server. The server has HP4615 printer-fax connected to it. I can print from all 3 computers, but faxing works from the server only. When trying to fax from one of the desktop PC's (by sending a document to the 4615 fax printer) nothing happens, not even an error message. Any ideas?

TIA

I don't think that's possible, as to fax something you have to physically be at the FAX setup location to input fax destination with phone #.
