Hp OfficeJet print/scan in different ports
I just added HP OfficeJet K80xi to a computer running Windows 2000 Professional. Interestingly, when OfficeJet is set to LPT1, it only prints. When it is set to DOT4, it only scans. An enduser therefore has to switch the port back and forth in printer's setting. This routine is extremely cumbersome.
Does anyone encounter this problem before? Is there a way to set printing and scanning to the same port -- to either LPT1 or DOT4? I've been unable to configure this successfully. Maybe there is a configuration for W2kPRO that I might miss somewhere.
Computer = HP Vectra VL 866 MHZ, 256MB Ram, 30GB HD.
Thanks in advance

Check the HP knowledge base for similar problems.
Is the LPT set for the correct parallel settings in the BIOS ( EPP or ECP etc ).
Also - install SP2 for win2k !
I hope this helps !
