In this case, please install the MFC 6550MC/7550MC series printer driver again or copy BI-DI.386 from Disk 1 to the Windows/System directory. (NOTE: BI-DI.386 on Disk 1 is not compressed.) HP LaserJet series II, IID, IIP, IIP+, III, IIID or IIIP: If Microsoft Windows Printing System for above models are used, you have to modify the "win.ini" file which is in the Windows directory to turn the printer's bi-directional function off. We recommend you to have back-up before you modify the WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI, just in case. Open the file "win.ini" by using the "notepad" application. You can find the following statement in the [spooler] section. [spooler] QP.LPT1 = wpsljqp.dll To disable this function, put a semicolon at the head of above sentence as follows; [spooler] ;QP.LPT1 = wpsljqp.dll Then, open the file "system.ini" by using the "notepad" application. You can find the following statement in the [386Enh] section. [386Enh] device=wpsljvpd.386 : : WPSLPT1=1 To disable this function, put a semicolon at the head of above sentences as follows; ;device=wpsljvpd.386 : : ;WPSLPT1=1 You must restart Windows to make these modification effective. The modification disables the printer status reporting on your PC, however, you will be able to use MFC 6550MC/7550MC series with no further problems. 16-8 Maintenance
