Can't send faxes

Hallo!
Hope somebody can help me with this, I still feel quite unfamiliar with Mac OS X.
The problem is I cannot send faxes, trying to use the internal modem of my PowerMac G4, running OS 10.4.11. Following the instructions, I choose Print from the menu Archive and then I choose "Fax as PDF". A new dialog box is shown in which I enter the fax number of the recipient, and then I click Fax. The dialog box disappears, but nothing more happens.
In the window Internal modem, which I access through the window Fax list, it says "dialing" and then (after an unnormally long time) "connected", though I have indeed not heard the modem dial. The fax is added to the list of "ready" faxes, although nothing has actually been sent.
How mysterious may a Mac get? I feel this is not as it should be.
Very sincerely
Frisbo Tom

PS. I have installed software for an HP printer, may this have something to do with it?

G4 Gigabit Ethernet, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
