Problems sending a fax pdf from iMac OSX Yosemite.

The image below shows what my Print options are when I Print from Apache OpenOffice.

Again, this is running Mountain Lion. I will be very disappointed if this goes away once I upgrade to Yosemite!

And below is the next menu.

Finally, here is the actual fax window.

Sometimes it helps knowing what you should be expecting to get.

Apple's fax modem is a software fax modem. Apple didn't drop support for its fax modem with Yosemite. The Apple fax modem has not been supported since OS X 10.6.8. This is part of Apple's FAQfor their fax modem.

If you had originally bought a hardware fax modem, you would still be able to fax. Basic fax capability is built into the OS X printing architecture of CUPS. I am still able to fax with an old Global Village fax modem left over from when a dial up connection was about the only way one could connect to the internet.

This was unbelievable how to easy this was and looked for three hours for the direction!!

Thanks so much
