Scanner, Printer and XP
Now since seeing there are a few which intelligent guys here can you help me out on my problem.
My computer has one parrellel port but I have a scanner and printer which are both parellel port. Previouly on windows Me it was no problem to run my printer to the scanner and the scanner to the computer. However after am XP installation I can no longer operate them this way. With my printer Lexmark Z43 running to the scanner I alsway recieve a message "trouble communicating with Printer" On order to use these devices I have to unplug and plug in everytime. Not a big deal. But I was wondering if there was a simple solution that I have missed. I have all updated drivers and I have made sure "Bidirectional communication" is enabled. My scanner is a canon N640P.
thanks
