HP Fax Machine SetUp with Uverse - Wiring Question
Can anyone provide guidance exactly how to connect the printer to the Uverse Router (i.e. the Fax cable goes from the fax/printer into the Uverse Router (where?)). Is a 'filter' necessary?
Thank you!

You do have u-verse voice (billed on U-verse bill ) & NOT POTS (billed on separate bill)??
If yes - The dial tone is on the tel 1/2 jack on the router is there a wire plugged in there & what is the other end of that wire - The wall jack or a phone??
Either way, remove the plug from the tel 1/2 jack & plug it in to the tel jack on the printer. Get another wire & connect it from the router tel 1/2 to the printer LINE jack & everything should work.

If you plug the FAX into that jack, you cannot use it for phones. You need a single line, two set jack to connect both. Do you have one built in to the fax machine?
Or, you can connect the router to the wall jack & the house wiring can distribute the dial tone to phones and FAX.

Thank you for your help. Can you clarify a bit?
I do have a single line two-set jack built into the fax machine.
The router is connected to the wall jack -- how does the house wiring distribute the dial tone (ie what is plugged in where?).
Again - thanks. The router is what is tripping me up --
