How do I print to a fax machine remotely?

[975]

I have a Brother fax machine connected to a phone line at Point B.
(There is no PC or server at Point B)
I would like to print documents to the fax machine at Point B from Point A.
(At Point A I have a Win7 PC and an internet connection)

Do I need to have special software for this, or can I use existing tools within Win7?
I would prefer not to use a paid service for this.

I want to use my existing Brother fax machine via the phone line at Point B without having to upgrade to a savvier MFP device that requires an internet connection.

I have searched for "print to fax" online, but there is nothing that I've found helpful.
I don't wish to send faxes from my Win7 PC or send e-mails with documents that will be received as faxes using a service. I don't even want to connect a fax modem to a phone line. I want to select a default "printer" (what my PC thinks is a printer but is really a remote fax machine) and go on "printing" documents that the fax machine will automatically print out as faxed documents. I want the "print job" to be sent via the internet but received via a phone line to a remote fax machine.

A fax machine is not a printer and it does not accept printer commands. You can only send a fax over a phone line. You either have to connect your computer's modem to a phone line and then you can use the scan and fax utility on your PC to send it, or use an internet based fax service.

I understand what you want....but, you have to use an internet based fax service of some kind to upload the pages to, or use your own computer's built-in fax card with an attached phone line to send a fax. There is NO OTHER WAY. Fax machines require fax communications only over phone lines. You cannot "print" your documents to a printer-to-fax like you're wanting to do. There is nothing out there to do that, no matter how hard you wish it.

Here are some links for internet fax service reviews that may be of help:

You do not say what model you have, so we cannot tell if it is a model that has a USB (or older parallel port) that allows it to be used as a printer. If there is, it could be used with a print server, which is a small box that could connect it to a network.

But if it has no provisions for it to be used as a printer, your only option is to use it as a fax machine (fax modem or e-mail service that can fax to it like e-fax).
