fxscount.h missing in XP

The ".h" extension of fxscount.h implies it is a file that is part of the
program's source code; in other words, it is probably used by the developers
to make the program. It is entirely possible that HP chose to use that
extension for some other purpose, but it seems highly unlikely that HP would
use a ".h" extension for a DLL.

DL you are absolutely correct, thank you for your response. I found the file
on another computer and it is a text file. However, I am still getting the
same error while trying to set up a fax, the fxscount.h stops it. The error
message "The file "fxscount.h" on Windows XP Professional CD-ROM is needed.
Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK." HP has stopped
support for the Officejet 600 and I really don't want to trash it because of
this. I purchased a USB to Parallel printer cable which must be working fine
and not interferring with the fax because it prints fine, it's only the fax
that won't work. However, I am also getting a 2way communication error that
I am also trying to test to see if this may be the problem. I just don't
know how to do the 2 way test yet.

Your problem is allmost certainly with the HP drivers, try updating them.

Its also possible the usb / Parallell converter is causing the problem with
two way communication.
Also check HP for any firmware update

Many people have a hard time installing MS Fax for XP. Here's the fastest way to get all the missing fxs files:
Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A8F72FDD-6D82...2B-8078
Download the file, but don't run it (it's intended only for Server2003 installations).
Open it with Winzip or other Zip reader.
Save / extract the files to a convenient permanent folder, and point the FAX installation there to access them.

The only downloadable file on that page is an exe file. An unzip utility is useless. The only thing you can do with it is run it and install the 2003 server you specifically say to not install (which reinstalls part of the operating system or something.)

I found and manually extracted some of the files but cannot find the cov files you mention, and if what I'm specifically trying to do is install MS Fax, how can I manually install it?

fxscount.h missing in XP
I'm trying to attach an old HP 600 All-in-One Fax Printer Scanner to a Dell
laptop with XP SP2. I cannot find the fxscount.h dll file for XP Pro or Home
other than for the small business Server 2003 OS. The printer portion is
working, it is the FAX I cannot get to work. Can someone please tell me
where I can download this file or how I can make this work? The DLL sites
I've checked don't have it listed.

Thank you in advance.
