Yesterday and today as well when I hit print I get a message about faxing, that my fax isn't set up, etc. I don't have a fax nor do I want one. Why is it doing this instead of printing?

Try printing again, but this time notice the "Name:" drop-down menu in the print a page dialogue. Make sure your printer, and not "Fax," is selected.

That should resolve this issue.
