I have a Windows SBS 2008 server that provides a fax server and a second Windows 2008 server that is our application server. We use the remote web application for a SQL application on the second server. Occasionally I need to send a fax from this application. When I attempt to add the fax printer, the wizard wants me to add the print server role and create another fax server. Do I have to do it this way? I really don't want to add the additional overhead to this server.
For some reason the wizard started two chains of prompts, one being the normal Add Printer dialogue, then other branching to adding first a fax account, and then requiring the fax server. I just closed or ignored the second branch and was able to add the fax printer.
