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).
