These standard settings may or may not apply for PCI Parallel ports...

Check your printer cables or try a different cable.
Make sure your printer is READY or on-line.
Run the self-test on the printer to make sure it is operating properly.
Reinstall any print drivers if you cannot print from your operating system.
*   Most scanners and removable disk drives do not support LPT3. Please check vendors for help.

Possible IRQ Conflicts...

Sound Cards, Network Cards, Fax Modems, SCSI controllers, Communcations ports, etc.
Please check the device manager for resource conflicts..
To test your printer:

1.  Drop to a DOS prompt.  At the C:\>COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT LPT1:
					1 FILES COPIED.
2.			AGAIN, At the C:\>COPY CONFIG.SYS LPT1:
					1 FILES COPIED.

Not available until June 99.  Sorry about the inconvienence.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

System Board bios' such as AMI, and AWARD have features such as
PCI Bus configuration or Advanced Chipset Features which control the PCI Bus:

Your system will have one of the two mentioned setups in your CMOS program
that controls your system PCI bus.  There are many features to determine
PCI plug and play device setups, order or slot configurations, and PCI to
ISA setups.  You may have trouble with your system if these are not properly
setup in your CMOS.  Please check your manual or PC manufacturer for setup
options.

The 1138/D is a Plug & Play card.
All Legacy ISA resources must be reserved for ISA only...
Here is the recommended configuration for these bios'.

Example:  Award v4.51PG Bios Setup:
                 1138/D will not use a Legacy ISA device or IRQ..

Plug & Play  = Manual
Auto configuration = disabled

IRQ3             Legacy ISA
IRQ4             Legacy ISA
IRQ5             PCI/PNP
IRQ7             Legacy ISA
IRQ9             PCI/PNP
IRQ10           PCI/PNP
IRQ11           PCI/PNP
IRQ12           PCI/PNP
IRQ14           PCI/PNP
IRQ15           PCI/PNP
