Be sure the settings of kdeprintfax are correct in the options
dialog, "System" section, especially the underlying fax system.
If you want to use hylafax, configure kdeprintfax to do so.

kdeprintfax is just a graphical interface around an existing
command-line fax tool like eFax, hylafax or mgetty+sendfax. If
you can't make this fax system work from the command-line, then
it won't work in kdeprintfax as well. Depending on the fax system
you're using, I'd suggest you read the associated documentation
to be able to use it from the command-line first.
