Many modern printer/scanners have a fax capability built in. Mine does. I’ve never used it, and don’t know what it needs to connect to the other end, but it’s there. Regarding the Google block: It’s only blocking the AI results, and I tried searching for “Biden Dementia” and it also gave no AI results. So this could be something they’re doing across the board. ---
