Tweakie and Klaus, 

Thanks for the site.  Downloaded and found that I have no LPTs on my computer.  I must have a problem with the new aftermarket parallel card that I have put in the computer.  I can print but get no printer status feedback to the computer.  Mach3 will not access the address that device manager says I have the LPT assigned to.  I will get another board.

Sorry Eduardo.   Didn't mean to slip in on your post.

I have just installed Mach3 on my Windows 7 machine as well.  It displays the 9C00 - 9C07 as the address for the LPT port.  However, 0x9C00 as the address in Mach3 still isn't giving output to the port.  I have a printer that I can connect to the same port and print documents successfully.  My concern is that I don't seem to be getting printer output back to the computer such as out of paper or printer off line.  Are there any tests that I can use besides the printer?
