I'm literally new to Linux (i started using it soon as the CNC Router arrived in the company i work for) so we were using an computer with integrated parallel port and it worked fine until the computer died.
We bought a new computer for the CNC but then i realised that the Mother Board doesn't have a parallel port, to deal with this problem i managed to get one of those PCI-E Parallel Cards. Then began my problems and days of headache, it turns out that my knowledge about linux it's not enough to make it recognize the card, so i'm here to ask for a help to you guys.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS,
Here's some pics of the board:
Since i don't know nothing about linux system and all i know is how to open a terminal window, be patient with me please.
Thanks all you guys for taking your time! Sorry about my english, it's not my native language.

Really I'm not a Linux expert ... and not a good programmer too ... so "non รจ necessario chiedere scusa" ... plus my English it's so bad that sometime it can play rude .. but it is never my intention ...
plus ... sometime, if it is in my possibility, I try to help someone in these forum ... but my possibility is very poor ...
Hello tommylight and get a good day...
