But dmesg shows:
[ 8.962720] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP]
"PCSPP" above seems to indicate that the port is not in EPP mode. Would
setting the proper bit in a register fix this? I wrote a short utility,
showport.c, to help me understand the parallel port, but seems to come
in handy for setting bits too.

Kirk, thank You, this script seems very promising!
I need some more details about Your script:
1) In which folder should I put it and then in terminal "cd" to?
2) How exactly should I run it? Address of parport is 0x378. How
exactly should that command look?
3) Is the effect of setting the parport to EPP permanent or do I have
to run this every time before using EMC?
The driver should be able do all the EPP setup needed, why this fails or
what else is going on is not known yet. Kirk utility is worth a try to
diagnose the problem however.
What is the exact part# of the motherboard and BIOS version#?
