I too have struggled with getting a second printer port to work correctly. I have an older SIIG with a NetMos 9835 chip and a newer card with the MosChip 9865.
I've updated the drivers and tried all sorts of stuff to get them working, but they still don't work right.
The one thing I have found that works for either card is as follows:
1. Open the Ports and Pins Screen & set everything up in Mach (make sure both ports are enabled and the second port has the 2-9 inputs check-box selected.
2. Close the Ports and Pins Screen.
3. Re-Open the Ports and Pins Screen, deselect the 2-9 inputs check-box, click apply, reselect the 2-9 inputs, and click apply.
4. Close the Ports and Pins Screen and everything works.
Each time I start Mach, I have to go through this process to get the second port to work. When I first start Mach, the pins on the diagnostic screen are all lit up. After going into Ports and Pins & toggling the 2-9 input check-box, the pins go out and everything works.
I know it sounds strange, but it works every time. Could there be something strange going on with Mach?
