Hi,
I can't make my LaserJet 2200 printer work on Windows 10 x64. I installed DOT4 and the latest Universal Printer Driver PCL6, upd-pcl6-x64-6.9.0.24630. I connected my printer to the computer using a parallel to USB cable. I made sure the printer is configured to use the right virtual USB port. I only get error messages from the printer. The only driver I found that works is the PCL5 version that comes with Windows, or the old PCL5 version found on HP ftp site, upd-pcl5-x64-6.1.0.20062, which doesn't provide bi-directional support. I always get an error message when printing with the PCL6 driver :
PCL XL error
Subsystem: Kernel
Errors: UnsupportedProtocol
Operator: 0x0
Position: 0
When installed on Windows XP, the printer works just fine using the PCL6 driver made for it.
Also, I'm missing the manual duplex option that was coming with the Windows XP PCL6 driver that is removed from the Universal Printer Driver made for Windows 10.
Thanks for helping me with these two issues...

I made an error : the old PCL5 version found on HP ftp site, upd-pcl5-x64-6.1.0.20062 provides bi-directional support. It's Windows HP Laserjet 2200 driver that doesn't. But HP UPD PCL5 driver is restricted to 600 dpi whereas PCL6 was providing higher resolutions for my printer, i.e. 1200 dpi.
