It uses a land phone line. I'm wondering which model of HP printer you're thinking of when stating that "other HP all-in-one wireless printers use an internet service ...". I've owned several HP printers that had wireless connection and the fax never went through the internet. At any rate, as for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer, once you set it up via wireless connection, simply use a phone line to plug your home phone into the back of the printer and then connect the printer to the phone jack. (You will see on the back of the printer where to plug in your phone and where to plug in the phone line that connects to your phone jack.) Remember: You will need to have a wireless router and need to have a wireless network set up on your PC. If you don't have a wireless network setup on your computer, you won't be able to connect any printer wireless ; you can only connect it via USB. Hope this helps :-)

You may use a traditional land line for faxing with this printer.
