Hey All,
I can not get my parallel port to connect to my printer. The printer was working with F8. Then I upgraded to F10. The printer has not worked since.
Have you looked in the computer's BIOS settings screen(s) to ensure that the parallel port is not disabled?
Also even if it is enabled, there are usually several settings for some details of how the port works, some of which may work better than others (i.e., some may work, some may not, depending on your printer and OS.) Afraid I can't offer any guidance on which settings would be best.
From the looks of the listing, OP has a PCI parallel card. I do not know if it is a single or double port card, but it looks like a double port card. It may not show up as lp? - it may be a bit more complicated name. (Just like USB parallel devices are USBlp?.) The boot log will probably show what device(s).
