Hi,

This is a long shot, but its possible that you may have to go into the computer's CMOS and set the parrallel port mode to ECP. Its possible that its currently operating in compatable mode, or standard mode. ECP allows for bidirectional comunication between the computer and printer.

Hope this helps!
