Hello, I would like to remove the fax program because I don't need it, and right now
there is a green arrow on it and I can't print from the computer
I have a Windows 7 computer and an Epson 205 printer that works for photocopies
have a good day and many thanks

    Hello,

    Go to Start
    Control Panel
    Devices and Printers
    What printers do you have installed?

    It seems to me that your problem is the choice of the default printer.
    In the device manager, you can select your Epson as the default printer and that should solve the issue, there is no need to uninstall the fax program.

    HELLO
    well, it's the same, the fax was still green in the printer device
    and impossible to move it to go to epson205 then to the correspondence text
    I took a screenshot and it’s still on the printer.
    thank you for your advice, but there must be a chip wandering around
    I think the best way would be to cancel the fax because I don't use it, but I don't know how to do it!!! if you know, I will follow your advice, thank you::;!!!!!!!
