Sure, it "could" further compound the mess. You should maybe
try and remove all previous 5610 'ware before installing it
again. This is when you should be running an ERUNT backup each
time before doing something that could make things worse. Do
you really need both 5160 and 2810?
I can't say what they mean by the "basic features driver", that
'should' include the fax.

Yes, Hugh, I found a smaller install on the HP site. I'm
downloading both
the 5610 full install and the Basic Features drivers from HP
right now.
However, I'll need assistance from you and the other PCWorkers
on installing
the Basic Features driver.
After all, it will be installed on top of the defective full
install, which
was installed on top of the HP 2810 driver. Won't that further
compound the
mess?
The HP site says,
"The Basic Feature drivers are intended for home users who want
a basic
print and scan driver to use with their HP All-in-One device.
This software
installation can be used on PCs that do not meet the minimum
system
requirements necessary to install the HP Full/Express Feature
software/drivers."
Does that mean that the Basic Features driver will not support
my fax?
Furthermore, my PC does meet the minimum requirements for the
driver. The
problem is not my system. The problem is HP's driver.
This is very confusing.
