That is theory, which has been proved in practice. You have been provided incorrect information. EPP mode is required for dedicated I/O cards from Mesa or Pico Systems, which provide much more I/O pins than there there are pins in LPT port. If You want to use LPT for direct I/O, forget about EPP mode! I have tested that on machines I have built/retrofitted and this has previously been confirmed here on list by Jon Elson (Pico Systems) and Peter Wallace (Mesa).
