Personally, I use my computer to send and receive faxes. I connect it up to the phone line and use the Microsoft Faxing software (free). I use my good quality scanner to scan in the odd document that I need to fax.

Printing is usually higher volume for me. I have a good quality inkjet printer for photos and an ok laser printer for reaming off b/w invoices and stuff.
