Assuming you are using the Parallel Port then another issue could be the output voltage. Old PC equipment was 5 Volt and new equipment is generally 3.3 Volt and may not be able to drive your controller correctly.
There are a number of solutions and one is to fit a PCI Parallel Port card which outputs 5 Volts - this thread may be of interest; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,34848.msg239910.html#msg239910
