So I'm "noodled", am I? :))

On the TCP/IP side of electronic print servers, can anyone educate me on
unidirectional vs. bidirectional? I own three; one is part of my SMC
Barricade 7004BR and two are the ones I bought from the SCOUG parking
lot guy (courtesy of Steve Carter) about three meetings ago. I haven't
researched the uni/bidirectional capabilities yet on these things; my
impression is that a unidirectional TCP/IP print server doesn't send
printer error messages back to the computer so if something goes wrong I
guess you just get a timeout error ("Printer not responding"). Anybody
know any more on this?
