Hello Eric, I myself had EMI problems with the parallel port cable to the Mesa 7i43 on one machine once. They appeared after over 2y of regular day to day operation of the machine and I had no idea why. Love and HF go mysterious ways.
Anyway, I solved it first with roll of regular kitchen aluminium foil into which I wrapped the parallel port cable and which I clamped indeed very crudely to ground on one side. Later then I used copper foil and soldered a connection to GND to shield the parallel port cable. I had no problems since then. Try to keep the parallel port cable as short as you possibly can.
