Printer communications
Your printer does not include a printer cable.
The HP IEEE-1284-compliant Parallel Interface
Cable is best for your printer. Make sure the
cable is bidirectional—that it allows two-way
communication between your printer and the
computer. This type of cable allows you to access
all your printer’s features.
If you don’t know whether or not your printer
cable is bidirectional, you can find out by following
these steps:
1
Make sure the printer cable is firmly connected
to both the printer and the computer.
2
Make sure both the printer and the computer are
turned on.
3
In the HP print settings dialog box, click the
Printer
Services
tab. (To find the HP print settings
dialog box, turn to page 41.)
4
Click
Test printer communication
.
The printer software tests the communication
between your computer and your printer
and tells you if you have bidirectional
communication.
If the cable is bidirectional, you should have
access to all the features of your HP DeskJet
printer.
If the cable is not bidirectional, the printer is
unable to send messages to the computer
screen, but it can still print.
