computer wont print
Trying to pring & communications fault comes up,"unable to
establish bi-directional communications with printer". Pressing continue on screen will allow printer to print. However, now printer will not print. Items show up in print queue & the queue sometimes shows items printing, but their not. Computer shows a spooling problem. Have used printers with another computer and it works. Used IBM recovery CD, & took computer to original settings. Reinstalled programs and printer. Same problem. Is there a fix? |

Can be a printer cable defect. Also can be the printer port not setup
properly for ECP. Check your printer port in device manager. Ran across one printer that would not work with ECP/EPP combo set in bios. But, would work with only ECP set. Also look for resource conflicts with printer port. "Gabe" wrote in message ... Trying to pring & communications fault comes up,"unable to establish bi-directional communications with printer".
