Tried checking the BIOS? Sometimes the port can be turned off there. Also there are a couple of different lpt types eg. enhanced, standard, something like that. Try changing them around. change the cable (as someone suggested). check whether the printer prints from another computer, using same cable, using different cable, etc.
