Re: HP Deskjet 500

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

I don't see any switch setting to switch between Parallel
and serial mode.  I know it works parallel because I
tested it in Windows to see if it works and it does.  There
are two sets of dip switches but I don't see where they
control the interfaces.  The B dip switch controls the serial
port configuration but I don't see where it would turn off
the Parallel port.
