File->Fax is used only to send faxes using the "local" printer only, for which u need a modem installed on the local system. Use File->Print and then print it to the desired remote printer that u have shared locally to send faxes using the remote printer.

Use File->Print for faxing using remote servers and File->Fax for faxing using local printer and everything will work fine.
