SOURCE: set up fax and dsl using one phone line
You can buy a splitter to put on your line so you can run both devices. They sell them at the dollar tree big lots and everywhere else usually, and range from .59 to $2. as far as another DSL filter ask a friend neighbor or co-worker if they have or had dsl and have an extra filter. If not then you can pick them up for a couple of bucks at radio shack

Have you tried telling the printer that it is to be used as "telephone priority"
Press the "fax" button on printer, then "menu" button
Use the left or right arrow keys to key across to "Receive mode settings" then press OK
Use the up or down keys to select receive mode. You should make sure it is in "telephone priority" then press OK
Hope this helps

A) Run the fax test on the printer itself to see if it's connected properly and has an active phone line.. HP All-in-one printers still make a dial tone sound even if they aren't connected to a phone line.
To run the test 1)..Press the SETUP button. Press the down arrow button until "Tools" is highlighted then pres OK.
2) Press down arrow key again and select "Run Fax test"
The printer will then print out the results.
It will tell you if anything fails. If it does, the correct the problem it mentions.
IF everything passes, then the problem is likely your cable phone line which is a "Digital" and Fax machines still use an analog signal.
Here is what you can try to overcome the deficiencies in a cable phone system.
1) Set your fax speed to Medium
2) Turn your ECM (Error correction mode) OFF
To set your fax speed, Press the SETUP button again.. Press your down arrow again until you find "Advanced Fax Settings" and the press OK.. arrow down until you find "Fax Speed" and hit OK. Then choose Medium (14,400) and press OK
This will take you to your previous menu (Advanced Fax setings).. Find "ECM Choose OK again.. Then choose OFF and press OK. Press the X button on your printer's control panel and then Retry your fax.. Hope this helps
