hTe only help I can give is that you check the setting of your parallel port in the bios, if you are using a parallel cable of course. There are various settings. EPP is one. Try different settings and see if this solves your problem If you are using a server or other intermediate system then it could be the way the data is transferred. Also check as well if you are using parallel cable you are using an IEEE parallel cable.
