Communications test and two-way communications The printer software tests the communication between your computer and your printer and tells you if you have two-way communication. Two-way communication allows your printer and computer to communicate and gives you access to all the features of your HP DeskJet printer. The cable between your printer and computer must be bidirectional to allow two-way communication- the HP IEEE-1284-compliant Parallel Interface Cable (C2950A) is best. If you do not have two-way communication, your printer cannot send messages to the computer. However, you can still print. 14

Communications test and two-way communications
The printer software tests the communication between your computer and
your printer and tells you if you have two-way communication. Two-way
communication allows your printer and computer to communicate and gives you
access to all the features of your HP DeskJet printer. The cable between your
printer and computer must be bidirectional to allow two-way communication–
the HP IEEE-1284-compliant Parallel Interface Cable (C2950A) is best. If you do
not have two-way communication, your printer cannot send messages to the
computer. However, you can still print.
If you are installing
printer software,
close all software
programs except the
HP DeskJet installer.
When all software
programs are
closed, only Program
Manager appears.
