You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Running Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS w/ 3.2.0-52-generic kernel. Unable to install
an older and much needed printer for a client because the generic
PCI-to-Parellel card is not usuable. Information about the card available below:
lscpci -vv
Serial controller: Device 4651:7073 (rev 10) (prog-if 02 [16550])
Subsystem: Device 4651:7073
Control: I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
Disk included from china for this card contains this driver, which doesn't work
either:
pci60806a: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
Driver should be fixed for newer kernel and included by default. It
appears to be the standard in 2012 PCI to Parellel cards from China
currently available for < $6 online.
Similar bug was reported on this guy's blog when I was searching for a solution
online:

Unfortunately this card doesn't allow me to get as far as he did with the
60806a driver. So it needs some serious work...
