My experience with an add-in EPP port card was that its output drive voltage 
was too low to trigger the motor controller it was connected to.  IIRC, I 
measured the cards active high output voltage as 3.12v (or so).  OTOH, the 
motor driver had a minimum threshold of 3.3v and was not being triggered by the 
card.  Apparently this is a fairly common characteristic of cheap add-in 
parallel port cards.
