Fax does not auto print after receipt

You can try out one of the following:

Have the same password for the same user name on both the
machines - Computer 1 which has the printer and computer 2
where you are receiving the fax.

Or, even when you are connecting to the printer from
computer 2 [you have to set up the printer before you can
automatically print from fax] a dialog will come up asking
for credentials for computer 1. After giving the
credentials, check the remember my password checkbox.
