Ok I'm at a loss here. I've tried just about everything I can think of so now I am looking to the experts on these forums to help me out.
I have a Sony Ericsson w350 that I am trying to setup to use to Fax from Leopard. I figure there's gotta be a way to do this and I'm just missing something. The device is added as a bluetooth device (with the help of a 3rd party plugin since it was not natively supported by apple) and I can use iSync and transfer files back and forth all day long. It also came with a provided USB cable.
I've tried this a few ways...
1) When the phone is not connected via USB, I go to the Print & Fax System Preference, click on the + and see the phone name listed under the fax icon (iPhoneiWish-Dial-upNetw-2). I add it and it then shows up as an option when I go to print a document. When I do so it treats it as a fax machine, prompting me (view preview at this point) to chose the entry from the address book and enter the cover letter info. When I click to send, it launches the fax queue icon in my dock. I click on it to watch the status and after about 30 seconds it says it's on hold until X time. If I click resume it repeats this, changing the time by a minute or two. It never connects.
2) When I connect the phone via the provided USB cable, the phone gives me an option to chose file transfer or phone mode. File transfer reboots the phone and puts it into a file transfer only mode but I never see the phone appear on the desktop as a connected device so I can't do anything with it. If I chose "Phone" mode, the phone says the phone is now ready to be used as a modem with my PC. I now see a new device under the Fax icon of the Print & Fax preference listed as "Sony Ericsson W350". I chose it and add it as a fax. When I send a document it's listing in the printers list shows as "in use", I get excited thinking it's working however it then does the same thing as above (shows pending then on hold until X time, never sending the document).
I'm so frustrated. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. I thought maybe I could add it as a bluetooth fax but had no luck in figuring that out. Help??
