There have been problems with EPP and FPGA cards. It seems only
motherboard parallel ports have the proper firmware. There are some PCI
cards that will work, but good luck finding one.
To find the parallel port address, use:
"lspci -v"
which should return something similar to:
"...
00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420 SATA RAID
Controller (rev 80)
Subsystem: Elitegroup Computer Systems Unknown device 1898
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18
I/O ports at 9400 [size=8]
I/O ports at 9800 [size=4]
I/O ports at 9c00 [size=8]
I/O ports at a000 [size=4]
I/O ports at a400 [size=16]
I/O ports at a800 [size=256]
Capabilities: <access denied>
..."
except the description should indicate a parallel port. The parallel
port address will be one or two of the "I/O ports at" numbers. You may
have to try different numbers until it works. See:
