I dial the number I am sending but it just rings and rings. Maybe the other end is not recognising my hp as a fax?
Yes, you are correct, the otherside isn't picking up. Try faxing to another number. It seems like your machine works fine, as it dials out and tries to connect to another machine.
I would try to fax to another fax number if you can. If you don't know of another fax number, just call up a local hotel and ask for their fax number, afterwards, call them back and ask if they received the fax. Simple as that.
Hope that help!
If the recipient side is ringing, then the problem is on their end. It sounds like the receiving fax is not set for auto-answering a fax call. A receiving fax machine should pick up and start to attempt the reception even if the fax number is dialed from a normal voice-only telephone; the receiving machine has no idea if the caller is a fax or a regular phone. It should pick up regardless and start to negiotiate the fax (that's the high-pitched whistling sound at the beginning of the call).
