This was the answer. (By the way, I've made many searches of the web for
"/dev/lp0 Device or resource busy" and other stuff without finding
anything helpful.) I killed lpd and now at least I can do "cat
foo.txt>/dev/lp0" and see stuff coming out, showing that there is no hw
prob. Thanks very much. You saved me a trip to a repairman and paying
him to say, "Parallel port looks OK."
As far as the BIOS is concerned, it doesn't give me much choice on
configuring the parport, only the port address and "PS/2 vs. AT." (This
is a Dell machine.) Maybe I'm missing something there, but I've looked a
number of times.

Now I have to figure out what's going on on NT. Oh, well...

In any case, what I really was trying to do was to run the Bar-Ilan
Responsa program with its damn HASP plug on WINE, but that's still giving
me the same "No response from NetHasp server." Any WINE gurus out there
with advice?
