If you ever delete the Fax printer from the server by accident, there is no need to reinstall the Fax component, you can create a new one from the &quot;Printers and Faxes&quot; folder, click on File, then select &quot;Install a Local Fax Printer&quot;. Please note that this option will not be available as long as you have a Fax printer present, including ones from RDP sessions. After you get the new Local Fax Printer, open its properties, go to the Sharing tab, and share the Fax printer so clients can connect to it.
