Hi All,

Can somebody please tell me how to disable the Enable bi-directional support
check box in the ports property page programmatically?
Is there any registry settings?

Thanks,

use setprinter.exe

setprinter "" 2 attributes=-bidi

this will change any local printer that is enabled. It will just silently
fail if the port is not bidi enabled.

you can run this to a remote target as well
\
setprinter \\printserver 2 attributes=-bidi
