Since the BIOS is incorrect, the data will be wrong. My guess is that the program that gives this is just looking in that memory area and not actually sensing anything from the port itself.
So, this report is meaningless, what matters is whether the port is actually configured for EPP mode. What is read from the IO port 77A will tell the story. The high bit (bit 7) should be on for EPP mode. But, apparently Mesa's EMC2 driver will set this anyway, just as my (ppmc) driver does. Have you checked the cable to the motherboard's parport header? It can be installed backwards, for instance, or have a bad connection.
