Ok you need to understand a few things.
First is you need to tell Mach the port address that you are connected to.
Second it does not matter what windows calls that port, ie it may call it LPT3 but if you look at the address of that in device manager you can enter that address as port1 in Mach.
Third you need to set all port assignments for inputs and outputs that you are using in Mach to that port.
In your xml you have the E-Stop set to Port 3, you can not have that when using the parallel port with Mach as there are only two possiblt ports, 1 and 2. If you were using an external motion controller rather than the parallel port then port 3 may be valid but you are not.
Have you downloaded and read the manual for your hardware?
