Dear Sir,
I have AMD-K6 333mhz system. It's printer port is not working. However I have installed additional I/O card on my motherboard for printer. Is there any solution that i can use my printer without installing any additional I/O card because I have limited slots on motherboard. Can you help me in this regard.
Anxiously awaiting for your quick and positive response.

Are there any IRQ conflicts with the printer port? Do you have any specifics as to why it isn't working?

also make sure your printer port is enabled in the system bios.

If you're sure you can't get the printer port to work and your goal is to remove the I/O card to make room, I believe there are parallel to USB adaptors.
