So now you can unlink the pins and test them, referring to the link earlier to read up on unlink.
Sorry about forgetting to tell you about 1 and 0.

Ok unlink is like setp except you don't use the 1 or 0 just unlink any pins that are linked and test them.
unlink parport.0.pin-02-out
then
for on
setp pinname 1
for off
setp pinname 0
then you can turn that one on and see if the led lights on the C10. As I recall the C10 has 3 or 4 optos, so if one is blown you can sort that out by which pins work and which ones don't work.
When you start your config the pins you unlinked will be back to normal.

There is only one led and it stays on constantly

I thought there was an led for each pin on the C10... oh only on the C1 do they have a led for each one.
Can you test each one as you turn them on and off?

Yes but I'll have to build a test board with led's to make it easier. I'll make one tonight
But right now I can't test them
