If your computer uses an ECP parallel port configuration, it will
not work with the Para Port 2. However, some computers, such as
Toshiba, so allow you to change the parallel port to another
configuration like bi-directional, which will work with the Para
Port.
The best way to determine parallel port compatibility is to run
the file "runme" in the Utility directory on the Disk 1 of our
Para Port driver set. If the Mode test fails, an ECP port
configuration may be the problem.

Dos
Type "setup" at the dos prompt to initiate the utility that will
allow you to reconfigure the port to bi-directional.

Some Toshibas come with a program, that runs in Windows, called
"hwutil." Execution of this program will permit reconfiguration
of the printer port.
