I have 2 PC's sharing an HP Deskjet 932c. Replaced one of the PC's and now the new one only prints garbage. The other one still prints fine. Have gone into CMOS and changed the LPT port to ECP. No luck. I believe that the 932C stores setup infofrom the PC, but can't seem to change it. There has to be a way to turn off bi-directional printing within the printer software. HELP!

1. Swap the port around on the AB switch box to see if it makes any different.
2. Try new IEEE printer cable from pc to swb.
3. You didn't mention what OS? if Win9x, reinstall the printer driver for the new pc.
4. If the above failed, how about alittle network - need a couple NIC and a cheap hub and learn networking. Making life more interesting. Good luck.

Once you have loaded the printer drivers, there will be a file in the C:\windows\system directory called hpcfgXX.exe ( xx is ther version number ). This will allow you to turn off bi-directional printing.

One more tip, also turn off print cartidge query. This tends to cause problems when running with a switchbox also.

good luck
