Printing in Windows 95
With Windows 95, you may experience problems using the pass-through
printing feature of your Ditto drive. The cause of this problem is usually the
printer’s Status Monitor in the printer manufacturer software. Until the
printer manufacturers fix this problem, disabling the printer’s Status
Monitor usually resolves the issue without affecting your printer’s
performance.
At this time, the problem exists with parallel port printers connected to any
type of parallel port tape drive.
For some simple solutions, locate your printer in the chart below and follow
the instructions for the specified solution.
