Parallel port ECP mode

I am trying to talk to an MP3 player via the parallel port using the s/w package supplied but so far with no success. Apparantly, the player and it's software require ECP mode in order to communicate. I have set ECP in the PC (IBM Thinkpad 600E) BIOS but still no success. Do I need to do anything under NT to allow ECP mode to operate e.g. is there an ECP mode driver that I need to install or do I need to configure an existing driver ? Do I need to remove standard printer drivers from LPT1 in order to be able to use ECP to the MP3 player? Help please from anyone.
