I have a US Robotics Modem Model Number 5637. I also have Page Sender. Anyone Use Page Sender? I now have the Purchased version. It says, "Ready To Receive," however, I cannot figure out how to send a fax with it. Can someone help?

Their Help page on sending a fax says:

1. In any Mac OS X application, select Print from the File menu.

2. Select PageSender-Fax as your Printer.

3. Select PageSender Fax from the Copies & Pages popup menu if it's not already selected for you.

PageSender presents an envelope which lets you fax anything you can print:

However, I am using "Preview," and there is no "Copies & Pages popup menu."

EDIT: I am running OS X 10.6.7 on a MackBook Pro

What happens if you open the same document in TextEdit? Are you able to fax from there?

Thanks...It turns out that since I have not been able to use the built-in fax program in OS X 10.6.7, and that the computer has locked up many times while trying to do so, the Senior Techs at Apple want me to erase and to re-install the OS. So I am going to do that first, and then try the fax program again. It also seems that PageSender told me that I need to install a different version of their software. However, I'll tackle that after the re-install.

I spent the whole day yesterday doing a clean install and then loading everything back on my MacBook Pro. I know that I should be able to fax from my Mac, however, from now on I'm going to use just a plain, stand-alone fax machine and do it that way. Thanks for your help.:)
