Re: WHFC Losing User Info



I've had no trouble like that at all, and use this package to send
production levels of faxes to lawmakers (!)

There is exactly one machine I have trouble with and get the MPS/EOP error.
Never seen it on any other, and I have no idea what's going on with it - but
its the only one.
