Error 344- Fax Function

I have been unable to send faxes to different numbers for months now. I keep getting Error 344. It always sounds like HP 3050 is able to go as far as establishing the connection and then it fails. 
Please help. I need this for my business and can't afford to keep running out to a fax/copy place when I should be doing this from home.

    Comm Error 344 is: (Note that this is on the receivers end)

    The remote machine has failed to
    respond to a fax command from the
    product because the connection is
    interrupted.

    The remote user has pressed the
    Stop button while the remote machine
    was receiving.

    Under rare conditions, incompatibility
    between the two machines can cause
    the remote machine to simply
    abandon the call.

    This website will show you what the error codes are.

Set fax quality to standard (instead of fine or photo) and make sure the paper format is compatible with the receiving end (Europe > A4, UK and US > legal)

Disconnect your answering machine can help if it is on the same line. this has worked for me before, but NOT today! disconnect any slicers. not sure if that also means turn off computer if dsl. maybe it worked form e before cuz the computer was off. doesnt happen that it is off often, but mayeb. it's what i am going to try next.
