Re: Standby then printer problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Try them all until you find the right one. HP probably has a recommendation
for the device

I'm sure there is some config utility for the PCI card.

The printer supports PJL language monitor. On the ports tab of the printer
properties there is a setting to Enable bidirectional support.

Sorry to be dense but change the properties via BIOS to be what? Actually
it will be through some other software as this is a Startech dual PCI
parallel port card (PCs don't come with parallel ports anymore!).

From memory, a choice would normally be between...

ye olde parallel type
bi-directional (sometime nibble)
EPP
ECP (and sometimes different variants too)

Which should I choose?

Also, what's all this about Bidirectional and language monitor? Do talk
techie - I can take it ;-).

Thanks,
Paul DS

Is the port ECP? Try changing the BIOS setting of the LPT port.

This device also support a language monitor, you can disable
Bidirectional on the ports properties.


If you already enabled the network card to Wake on Lan, then no.

Problem:
HP Laserjet 6L
Windows XP SP2

When the PC comes back from Standby, attempting to print appears to
hang. Pressing the "Throw Page" button on the printer results in a page
with some gibberish about "PageProtect..." and then the document. this
happens EVERY TIME.

Secondary issue, is there any way to make a printer that is in standby
wake-up when another computer attempts to print a document to a shared
printer on the first PC?

Thanks,
Paul DS.
