nize the device, or the

the required I/O address. Change the settings in the BIOS
setup utility.

device are assigned the same
I/O address.
Check all I/O addresses located within the BIOS setup utility
and any other installed hardware or software to make sure
there are no duplications.
Parallel port is set to output

Check parallel port setting in the BIOS and set to bi-direc-
tional or ECP.
