I'd try setting the parallel port as "Normal", reboot your pc, press Del (or
F2) key when the advice "press <del> to enter setup" appears, go into
advanced peripherals configuration, choose parallel port and set it as
"Normal" or "Spp", save changes and reboot.

If it doesn't work you should try the printer on a different pc to be sure
there isn't an hardware failure.
