You need to add all local usernames for the workstations which should have the access to the fax server.<br />

Or join the workstations to the domain network and set the permission to that specific group of users to the fax server is a better option.

These led me to the problem... It was me. &nbsp;Passwords on Server were changed but not on workstations.

Am running a Windows 2008 R2 Server with the Fax server role. I am able to send and receive faxes on the server but unable to send faxes from computers in the workgroup (there is no domain setup). &nbsp;I am able to see the shared Fax printer and able to connect it but when trying to print to it I get the message to connect to a fax server on my network. &nbsp;When I try to do that I get the message &quot;You do not have security permissions to complete this operation.&quot; &nbsp;What am I doing wrong? Permissions are set for &quot;Everyone&quot; and it connects when adding a printer from the workstations but when I go to send a fax I get that message.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
