OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless I can send faxes but cannot receive them. The call will come in and the fax will display 'Ringing'. It will ring twice, as it's setup to auto answer on the 2nd ring, and will then display 'Connecting' for quite some time and the display 'Receive Failed' and disconnect.

Pleass make a copy from the printer either you use a dedicated line for phone and fax or the same line for phone and fax
then perform a power drain on the printer steps to perform a power drain press and hold the power button down holding down the button unplug the power cable from the rear access of the printer hold down the button for 10 secs then first replug the power cord then reboot the printer press the setup icon(it resembles a wrench) on the printer touch screen then go to tools then select run fax test then you can come to know what is the problem if there is dial tone failure you need to check the phone line if all says pass then go to setup once again then go to advanced fax setup then check fax speed if it is fast set it to medium then check the ecm(error correction mode) set it to off from on then go to automatic reduction then set it to off then go to basic fax setup then check the rings to answer please make sure that the rings to answer for fax should always be 2 rings more than the telephonic answering machine run a fax test again then try sending a fax to the number(1-888-473-2963) thats the hp[ faxme ] number you will get a return fax if the fax test says that the fax hardware failed please contact the hp tech support thank you with regards
