This is what you will need to do:
1. List the resources assigned to the PCI card by typing this command:
more /proc/pci
The response will include something similar to the following, however, yours will be different:
Bus 0, Device 11, function 0:
Serial controller : Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 01).
Vendor id=9710, Device id=9715
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 11
I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001] printer port 1
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401] ECP/EPP config registers 1
I/O at 0xc800 [0xc801] printer port 2
I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001] ECP/EPP config registers 2
I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401] not used
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801] not used
2. Unload the paraport_pc.o module by typing in this command:
rmmod paraport_pc.o
3. Reload the parport_pc.o module to include the new parallel port. The following example assumes the resources discovered in step 1 and a motherboard parallel with Address 378 and IRQ 7.
insmod parport_pc.o io=0x378,0xc000,0xc800 irq=7,11,none
The first port assigned will be /dev/lp0, the second will be /dev/lp1, etc. In this case, the built in parallel port will be /dev/lp0, and the ports on the PCI2PECP will be /dev/lp1 and /dev/lp2.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
