It's epp
In the bios
Like i said test the port.
Connect a printer to it or use a multi meter.
When it's working and your ports and pins config is right it will work.
I'm out of ideas...
Have you reinstalled mach 3 ? (it should find the new card then)
Is the lpt port set to epp sometimes this matters ?
Do you have a printer to test the port is setup right and working ?
What...
I tried one these adaptors to connect my laptop and it didn't work.
Laptops have issues running cnc's it may have been for that reason.
If you go on ebay you can buy one for less than $5 delivered....
There are adaptors that will work advertised on this site.
Was mach 3 installed with the anti virus turned off.
You may need to reinstall it.
Are you plugged in to the parrallel port (Not a usb adaptor)
Is your firewall or anti virus blocking you?
Try setting your parrallel port to EPP in the bios sometimes this matters.
Double check you model number it might be tb6560 (c) or something like that.
With a different config.
Hope this helps it's all of got. GOOD LUCK.
Are you using a desktop computer. (laptops need a special box)
Also is the num lock turned off.
Double check you pin config.(that's my first choice)
Check your mach 3 config for ports and pins.
Do you want some close up pics of my wiring.
Mine should have the same motors and controller cards.
PS: The drivers are chinese.
just keep clicking the left button.

I'm not sure it even matters i was told epp is the prefered.
