From a picture I found I can tell if the parallel port is built in or ribbon
cabled to one of the connectors
If the port is on a vertical card, I'd crack the case and make sure the
cable is seated and pin one is oriented properly.
Also check the parallel cable that you are using to connect to the printer
or use the same cable/printer on another machine to confirm good.
