printer performance

Hello mac5 and welcome to the forums....

How are these two items hooked up to the computer?

USB, Parallel or a switch box.

Thanks.

They're hooked up parallel.

Do you have two LPT ports one on your motherboard and one on a separate card?

As far as I can tell I just have the one LPT port

So you have I printer direct connect, and the other printer connected to a pass-through port on the printer connected to the computer directly connected to the CPU?

If so, which one is direct connected, which one is pass-through?

Most Bi-Directional printers via parallel don't like work right when not being directly connected.

I reinstalled my Brother device driver and the problem cleared up. I guess installing the Hp driver overwrote something? Thanks for your time and help.
