You can disable bi-directional communication from the printers control program. To do this, go
start/programs/Lexmark/Control program on LPT1 then go into the Options tab. Put an x in the
box that says Disable Bi-Di Communications. Then restart your computer.
Special Instructions for Epson Stylus printers: Newer models of Epson printers come with
bi-directional software such as status monitor or tool box software, which allows you to
consistently view the status of your printer. This bi-directional software requires constant
communication between the computer and printer. This type of communication is not possible
through most networks or printer sharing devices, and will most likely conflict with printer
performance. You should disable the bi-directional communication to be able to print correctly.
