It seems you don't have a parallel port at all.

Are you using an old computer with onboard parallel port or a new computer with PCI card?

Are you using an old computer with onboard parallel port or did you have to add a PCI card?
 

I have a old PC donated by school and I have a parallel port connected to PC with a USB adapter. Since this PC doesnt have a parallel port connection.

This is the connection. Parallel port from bob, port to usb adapter, adapter to pc 

These USB adapters won't work.

You have to buy PCI card adapter with Sunix, Netmos or Moschip chipset. Avoid any WCH chipsets.
