How can I connect my Lexmark Printer to my cable router? -

I have comcast internet and try to connect my Lexmark All-in-one printer fax but comcast told me that i have to get another phone line. I have a router connect to my computer for my other computer. Do you think I can u that coonect my fax to that router?

Your Lexmark All-in-one printer fax is designed to connect to a standard telephone jack line not LAN connections. The Comcast cable modem is designed to connect to your computer through the LAN port. If you have a router that connects to your modem and to your computers, it s still using the LAN ports for everything and is not telephone/fax compatible. If you have their Comcast cable modem with digital phone capabilities (which is what I have) then you can connect to the telephone port. If you only have the one telephone port then you ll have to decide which one (phone or fax) to use at a time (which is what I do). You cannot connect your Lexmark All-in-one printer fax directly to the cable modem or router as they are networks not phone lines. You cannot have your phone on all the time and the fax too hence the reason they said you need another phone line. There are internet based fax solutions that you can use but that uses the computer to scan and send the fax and not the fax part of your Lexmark All-in-one printer fax machine. Hope that clears things up. Good luck.

Only if your printer has wireless capability or has an ethernet hook up on it.
