2 Parallel Ports - 1 Intenal, 1 PCI Parallel Port Card not configuring

Its a PCI .... I bought it for Rs 400 that is like 1.1USD from a used item store.

I will check it up if they have more of them I will buy them and any one needs it can contact me.

I have a few PCIe cards around somewhere, don’t think the rest of the house is going be happy if I start rummaging thru all the “useful boxes” at 2:15 in the morning.
It can be such a mixed bag as well, a vendor might show a picture with one chip and then send a card with a different one.
It still can be a little plug and pray.
As the OP discovered it can be frustrating. No doubt in another couple of weeks this topic will come up and we’ll just be repeating the same stuff.
I’ve often thought of having an eBay store just to sell known working Parallel Port cards, but shipping from Down Under would be horrible and I lack certain skills when dealing with people.
Could be an idea for someone based in Europe, the UK or Canada to take on.

One more thing to add which I have noted while this ordeal is that if you plug in the card and then install the windows drivers (Windows 10 Pro) in my case and you get 2 devices installed one in multi I/O tab and the second as a parallel port ...... Don't use that card just change it.
If you get a PCI Simple Communication Controller in your uninstalled list of unknown device before you install the driver ..... Now that is the card you should use ...... Please correct me if I am wrong.

Dunno mate haven’t used windows really in years. The few times I’ve had to it feels like wading through molasses, not something I recommend.
