Hi,

Just a test, no guarantee on the result....

You should be able to find the parallel port setup in one of the probably
many menus of your BIOS setup. There should be some form of menu describing
the mode the parallel port is set to. In my BIOS one of four options has
to be selected:

Normal
Bi-Direct
EPP
EPP/ECP

Try first "Bi-Direct" and then "Normal".

Best regards,

Luciano
