    Windows 10 & LPT Parallel Printer Port.

    You're welcome! My parallel port is a PCI card with an LPT port. When I originally purchased it I was running Windows 7.

    The card is a Parallel PCI Express Card, One Port, x1 Lane manufactured by Manhattan, Model Number 158176. It was $29.99 when I purchased it.

    • Adds One Parallel Port to a Desktop Computer
    • Supports SPP, EPP and ECP Ports
    • Fits PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 Lane Buses
    • Fits Regular and Low-Profile slots
    • Plug and Play Installation
    • Windows 7 Compatible
    I hope this helps.

    HP Laserjet 1100 does not work with Windows 10

    I have Dell desktop with the Laserjet 1100 connected to the parallel port and I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1511. I set the BIOS to ECP with no DMA assignment (it was originally set to PS/2. Then in Win 10, in Device Manager, under Ports, go to the properties
    of the ECP Printer Port (LPT1). Go to the Port Settings tab. I selected Use any interrupt assigned to the port and I checked Enable legacy Plug and Play detection. Printing works now. As of this writing, I do not know if you really need to check Enable
    legacy Plug and Play detection to make things work, but I'm pretty sure the other option is what fixed the problem. Hope this helps anyone with a similar setup.

    Parallel port set to EPP in BIOS shows as ECP in W10 x64

    Yes, this is normal. EPP is for non-printer peripherals. ECP is for printers and scanners.
