My HP 1040 fax prints a sending confirm notice after every fax is sent. Is there a way to turn this feature off as it is a major waste of paper.

Replace right away your fax machine and your telecom line subscription! Time to switch to a cloud-based fax service: no ink, no paper, no cartridge. The internet fax service is always on, always ready - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
