Hi,

Did you install the proper drivers?

1. If you have cable internet you won't ever have a dial tone.
2. If the printer is a wireless one then you need a wireless connection from the PC. Since these are flaky at the best of times get a USB cable and connect the printer to the PC through that. There is no point connecting the printer to a cable box even if you could, because the printer wouldn't understand the signals coming from it. They have to come from a PC.

The "data" cable for a printer either is:
* USB -- a small almost-square socket, less than 1/2 inch (1 centimeter),
* parallel-port -- a very-wide connector, more than 2 inches (5 centimeters).

Some printers have *BOTH* connectors.

Determine which connector(s) you have, and buy a cable.
Often, a "Thrift Store" will have the "parallel-port" cable for a dollar.
Don't pay more than $4 for a "USB" cable.
If you're buying a USB cable, make sure that there is a "square" end -- some USB cables have a smaller "mini-USB" connector, in order to connect to a digital camera.

that printer uses a usb cable and can be plugged into any flat usb port on your acer. Dosent' matter which. usb port will be about an inch wide and 1/4 inch tall. hope this helps.

If you print out a Test Page (Start -> Control Panel -> Printers & Faxes -> Right Click on your printer entry -> Properties -> Print out a "Test page")

The Camera Detected message is your PC detecting the scanner on the Printer - What happens when you try and print?

Hi Harumorani,
Yes the fax can be connected to your computer to use as a printer as well.
There is a small square hole at the back of the machine coverred with a piece of plastic.
It is a USB connection.
You will need a USB printer cable and in the box that the machine came in is a CD with the relative drivers.
If you for some reason no longer have the driver CD then log onto the "brother solutions Centre" web site at http://www.brother.com .under product support select USA English.

This will install the printer driver and you should be up and printing.

It should connect directly to the printer. Exactly where varies from model to model, but there should be a small port it will fit in. Just FYI, the printer will not be powered by the USB cable, it will require a separate power cord (which you probably already knew and had plugged in).
