I thank you all so much for your suggestions, yes [the
printer port] was disabled in the bios. I did enable it,
and still no luck. I am thinking that the suggestion of
installing a pci printer card is the best route at this

One more thing you may want to try.  I had problems with a
printer that kept bugging me.  Finally I changed the
parallel port driver from ECP port to SPP (which is plenty
fast enough for a printer).  It is a quick change and may
solve your problems.
