How do you know you have bi-directional, are you getting
other things back from the printer?
We have an Apple Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS on ethernet
(port 9100 also) which will not talk to us nohow. In my
rummaging around I discovered (somewhere on Apple's web page
I don't remember where and I can't find it again) that it
will talk only ethertalk and not at all on port 9100 (period)
(It will accept jobs but only PLP protocol)
Could be your 8500 is the same which means you too bought the
wrong printer.
UNLESS someone from Apple will respond to this note and explain
how we can talk to these *&^(%^ beasts.
