No response either way with any of those pins, testing the cable pin 10 also had no response to that test although it is working with my Estop switch.

Well that leaves us with 2 options,
Wrong port address, or a faulty port.
Check the port address and the ptest.
Ptest is included with Linuxcnc, i recall you mentioning making it work. Close ptest, start Linuxcnc from the menu, choose APPS from the config chooser and navigate to 0x378 , start that and check the short pin on cable again.

also no response including pin10. I have installed in the PC another paraport (dual port) but was never able to figure out how to get it working in linux. I got it a few years ago when my machine first quit working, suggested by somebody at the time.

sudo lspci -v
look for paraport, it will have 2 or 5 addresses, if 2 use the first, if 5 use the 3rd.

That is your add on pci parallel port and those I/O ports are its addresses.
Now you will have to add one of those addresses to the ptest.hal file so you can test that port too.
Look in /usr/share/doc/linuxcnc/examples/sample-configs/apps/ and copy the "parport" folder from there to /home/your_user_name_here/linuxcnc/configs. Open parport folder and edit the "parport_0x278.hal". On the first line, there is ...278, replace that with the address of the port you want to test, in this case first try "0xdc00", save, double click on "parport_0x278.demo", click on "run" or "run in a terminal", test the port. If it does not work, try the second address.
In case you get error device or resource busy, restart the computer, change the address and try again.
You can use this:
cat /proc/ioports | grep parport
to find the address of the built in parallel port to be sure you have the right address.
Regards,
Tom

Enjoy dinner.
Just take it step by step, things will start to fall in place and become very clear.
Off to watch a movie and sleep, 1:40 AM here. Got to work tomorrow.

Check in hal Configuration, you can see what is working and what is not once you get your parallel port figured out.
