How do you know the card doesn't work?  You mentioned Ubuntu, did you 
try printing
with it?  EMC doesn't use any Ubuntu drivers when using a parallel port 
card for controlling
steppers, so it is NOT Ubuntu's fault.

Finding the CORRECT I/O port address for these cards is often a guessing 
game, as the
chips have 2 parallel and 2 serial ports on them, the difference between 
the options is
which ports are actually brought out to connectors.  The addresses 
change depending
on what other cards are in the system, so the manufacturer can't give 
static numbers,
either.
