Will Receive But Won't Send Faxes

The phone plug I have it plugged into (we'll call it 6737), I can't get it to send faxes ... however, it's not the plug; I switch plugs and plug it into my "old fax machine" plug (we'll call that 6735)on the wall, and it works fine.  I plug my "old fax machine" into the original plug (6737), and IT works fine .. ??so it's not the plug on the wall ?? I want this unit to be in 6737 because that is not a published number .. I want my old fax machine to be in the 6735 plug, because it's just black toner, and goes alot farther on toner... Any suggestions as to what I'm doing different ?? the HP support books (I'm sorry to say) have been no help at all .. everything just reads the same whereever I look ..   Any help !!!!??? I love HP ... but this one is beating me down !!!??? Why can't I get my NEW machine to work in the 6737 plug
