Connecting 2 printers using data switch on a NT.

[saboni]

Hi!
I'm trying to connect a Lexmark Z31 using a data switch to a NT system which already has a EPSON FX 1050 connected.
Both use LPT1 Port and the epson works perfectly, while the lexmark gives me the following error message:
Bidirrectional comunication not supported.
Well, I have a bidirrectional cable on the data switch and the printer. The printer is on-line and the bidirrectional checkbox on the printer's property page is checked. I don't know what else to do, so if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

You need to disable bi-directional support for this to work properly with NT.
