Hi @vrabel

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

To enable Bi-directional communication, please follow the steps below:

 

Start-> Control Panel-> devices and printers

Right-click on your printer, and then select printer properties. Now click on the Ports tab, put a checkmark in the box down to enable bidirectional support, and then click OK.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
