If the printer port isn't ECP, that might be the problem. Anyway, if it is ECP, go to the Resources tab, which'll give you a memory range.

My input/output range is 0378-037A, so I would set that in the PC-Linker program as well (LPT1).

Its still not working, but I did notice something you said that might help. My setting is on 0378-037F instead of 037A. Do you know if theres anyway to change that or what can be done to make it so it works? Sorry to bother you like this but I really do appreciate all your help
