Let me add to that my own plea; could someone
explain what all these parallel port modes mean?
SPP
and ECP and...
EPP/ECP (Enhanced Parallel Port/Enhanced Capability Port) is a standard
method for bi-directional parallel communication between a computer and
peripheral devices that offers the potential for much higher rates of
data transfer than the original parallel methods. EPP is for non-printer
peripherals. ECP is for printers and scanners. EPP/ECP are part of IEEE
Standard 1284, which also specifies support for current signaling methods
so that both old and new peripherals can be accommodated.
