Could you show the full lspci output for the card?

If the card has only one i/o area, it may not be compliant with ECP/EPP 
standard registers.  A plug-n-play compliant PCI parallel port card 
(that is also compliant with ECP1.9) should have a base I/O address, and 
another area 0x400 above that, for each port the card has.

I get the impression their cards are EPP only, with none of the ECP 
registers.

Without datasheets, the only way to learn more about the card is to have 
one.  If you write 0x80 to 0xC002, can you read back that value?
