The HP® LaserJet® 6L printer requires bi-directional communication with the computer for normal operation. This interferes with the Iomega® drive's ability to communicate normally through the parallel port. A work-a-round solution is to disable the status monitor for the printer. You may follow the steps below to accomplish this:

1. Press Ctrl, Alt, Del at the same time to open the Close Program dialog box.
   
   
2. Highlight hpwpsw.
   
   
3. Click End Task.
   
   

Next perform the following steps:

1. Click Start, select Find, then click Files or Folders.
   
   
2. In the Named box type hpwpsw.exe.
   
   
3. Click Find Now.
   
   
4. When the file is found, right-click the filename and select Rename.
   
   
5. Rename hpwpsw.exe to hpwpsw.bak.
