Hi everybody,

the HP-Toolbox of a DeskJet 1220C is not able to monitor either LPT1 or any USB-port under WinXP.

HP release notes state, that under WinXP bidirectional support is not provided for local Parallel Port or local USB-ports.

Does anyone know, if this is correct?

Regards
Rolf

the print driver needs to be coupled with a language monitor in order to
support bidi.
from \windows\inf\ntprint.inf, the driver does not install a language
monitor. If you are installing the HP driver, they are the ones who will
know best but you can take a look in the inf from Hp as well.
"HP DeskJet 1200C" = HP1200C.GPD.ICM
,HPHP_DeskJet_1200C58AF,HP_DeskJet_1200C

[HP1200C.GPD.ICM]
CopyFiles=@PCL5ERES.DLL,@HP1200C.GPD,@TTFSUB.GPD,HP1200C_COLOR,UNIDRV
DataSection=UNIDRV_DATA
DataFile=HP1200C.GPD
[UNIDRV_DATA]
DriverFile=UNIDRV.DLL
ConfigFile=UNIDRVUI.DLL
HelpFile=UNIDRV.HLP


If the driver supports bidi there will be a section in the inf like this

LanguageMonitor=%PJL_MONITOR%
