How to get a auto A/B switch to work with two printers - one PC

A HP three-in-one printer and a laser printer hooked to an auto A/B switch...the A/B switch connected to the PC. When switch is in "A" position, the PC is booted and recognizes the printer. The switch is put in the "B" position and the
PC does not recognize the printer. If the printer is turned off and back on, the PC sees it. Each time the switch is switched the printer or PC has to be turned off and back on.
It appears the printer needs a continuous connection to work. Is there a setting on the printer or in Win98 to fix this?
 
This may be a long shot, but try disabling bi-directional support for the printer. You loose out on some special functional options such as checking the status or level of your ink cartridge. Got into your printer properties of the printer, and then go to the details tab and click on the spool settings button.
