Aptiva - How to install a parallel port card
Applicable to: World-Wide
Most parallel port cards are not Plug&Play. Your new port can share IRQ7 with the original LPT1 port.
1. Set jumpers on your new card - verify if your new card is using the free I/O address 0278. The Aptiva parallel port usually takes 0378 address.
2. Before the physical installation of the new card, launch the Add New Hardware section of Control Panel. Select NO to searching new hardware. Select Next. Select COM, LPT Port. Select Next to install 2nd LPT port.
3. Open Device Manager and select the new LPT2 port. Select Properties, then Resources. Uncheck the Use Automatic Settings checkbox. Select Basic Configuration with the free I/O address you selected without any IRQ or DMA.
4. Shut down the system. Install the card to a free expansion slot. Start the system. The new card will be recognized.
