SYMPTOMS

RESOLUTION
To reinstall the Microsoft Fax printer driver, follow these steps:

 Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers. Use the right mouse button to click the Microsoft Fax icon in the Printers folder, and then click Delete. Click the Start button, and then click Run.  In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK: "awadpr32.exe" This command rebuilds and reinstalls the Microsoft Fax printer driver. 

MORE INFORMATION
