This is a common problem if you used your old motherboard's cable and LPT
connector.  Even though both connectors are the same, the pin layouts on
the motherboard connector are not the same between two different
motherboards.  In other words, the pins do not connect the same between the
motherboard and the LPT connector for two different MB designs.  You must
use the LPT connector and cable supplied with your motherboard.
