Bi-directional printing problem

's Computer Specifications

I have recently installed win2000 professional along with
sp4 on both my server and workstation. I have an HP1220c
inkjet printer on LPT1 of the server.
I now receive an error message form the HP toolbox stating
that it is not possible to communicate with the printer to
display ink levels etc.
This tool worked perfectly Ok when NT4.0 was installed on
the server previously.
The HP website states that bi-directional communication
via LPT ports and USB ports is not supported in win2000,
has this or is this to be resolved?

It works fine with our Epson 1280 and C84. If it isn't
supported for the HP, then it's because HP doesn't support
it in their drivers/Toolbox. Assuming you've gotten the
latest version of the HP software/drivers, I can't think
of anything else you could try
