Lost visibility of Common Cover pages on win2k Server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

You mentioned, fax is shared of a Win2k Server? In Windows 2000, other than
SBS edition, fax can not be shared. Is this a Windows 2003 Server or a
SBS2000 server? Are the XP clients running SP1? Non Sp1 XP1 clients will
have trouble connecting to Windows Server 2003 Shared Fax. Btw, also mention
without using the cover page, can you still send faxes using the fax server?

Thanks,
Anand
