Hey. Try to plug only your line in the fax machine. Test if you can received. There may be a conflict between these machine.

Try dialing the FAX-number with your cell-phone.
Do you hear the "ring", or does the telephone-company give you a "busy" signal ?

Some FAX machines are "busy" -- receiving many FAXES from multiple customers -- reprogram your FAX machine to "retry" a few times.

Or, when a receiving FAX runs out of paper, it sometimes refuses to accept "new" faxes.

The following link will take you to your user manual on the HP.com web site. Go to fax setup (chapter 10) then "Choose the right fax setup for your home or office". It shows several scenarios to setup your fax. Hopefully you can find what you need. GOOD LUCK!

ALL fax machines need an ANALOG phone line to work reliably. DSL is DIGITAL.

If you do that I believe what will happen is that the Fax machine will answer your phone,unless you can set it to not answer until after so many rings, and you answer it first,beofere that number of rings. You will have to installor program  the software for the fax part of your printer . 

try to used the two conductor cable that came with the printer itself.
- at the same time ask for a filter from your phone provider
- the printer should be direclty connected to the phone walljack
- if you have all this kind of set-up you will be able to recieved faxes now..
