Parallel Port card TX382A

Ok hope this is the correct forum for this.
to help others here is what worked for me.
Purchased from Ali-express china.
Great-Q RS232 RS-232 Serial Port COM & DB25 Printer Parallel Port LPT to PCI riser Card Adapter Converter TX382A Chip

The card would not work for me with Linuxcnc and none of the drivers for linux TX382A on the disc worked for me.
Here is the solution, partly from another obscure web site I can not find again.

Create a Configuration in the /etc/modprobe.d directory, create a file with any name but the .conf extension. the contents of that file is:

options parport_pc io=0xd880

so every time the computer boots ,the parallel port driver will be loaded with the above options.
I had root access to do this but I believe it can be done from terminal with sudo command.
may pay to check your pci adreess if card is different to mine.
use in terminal

lspci -v

mine was the second address d880 under serial
but the instruction above worked for me.
Thanks to all who helped me I am new to Linux
and hope this helps others.

Good to see some info being shared
