Parallel port data switch

[RJM]

Are you using some software to make the switch work
- try and see if there is a web site for the software

Try going itno the printer driver and switch the drive
to Raw (go into the printer properties to do this)

Test as required.

Another way to try might be to use a USB hub and get rid
of the switch - the devices would have to support USB
and you would have to invest in leads

Also are you using XP printer drivers or ones from
your older operating system, so that perhaps they
are win 98 or NT specific

Thanks
