pci parallel port questions

[drobbins]

Hello All

rookie here
trying to get Mach setup and running for a cnc router kit I purchased
my PC is custom built with modern components and doesn't have a parallel port so I bought a pci addon card
in testing to see if I can turn output pins on and off with Mach I have no luck, I suspect I haven't got the port config setting correct
OS is Win7 32 bit, 2 screenshots from the device manager are attached
what should I set the port address to be and do you see any other items I should change?

Any Help Appreciated
Dave

I think you want EC00
Not sure about anything else, though.

I thought you only type the last 3 digits but ec00 did the trick

thanks

If you entered 2030 and it doesn't work, I don't know what it could be. Sorry.

i not sure how to post the screen shots but it looks just like yours but it looks the same like yours but has 2030-2037 so i entered in mach3 0xc2030 but i still get no output. i am checking the direction pins and they stay at 0 no matter which direction i go

Just enter 2030, not 0xc2030

i have the same issues with a lava parallel PCI card , their manual states "In standard installations of Windows 2000/XP and higher, the I/O address cannot
be changed to a legacy address" which are common 0278,  0378, etc   so mine is at DDFO and i can't get Mach3 to see it. any suggestions?
