another pci parallel card configuraion issue

I am working on moving my MicroPro Systems MicroMill 2000 to LinucCNC. The original computer has died and I have replaced it whih a newer computer. The old system was running Mach3 but the drivers were so old I had to maintain the PC date in the 1990's. So when it died I decided to follow the LInuxCNC path .The new system does not have a LPT port so I installed a startTech PEX1P which has one of the chip sets recommended on the forum. The following are the steps I have examined to look for a solution.

Hardeware: ASROCK Z77 Extreme4
System; Linux Mint
jruffsr@jruffsr-shop:~/linuxcnc/configs/Mach3Mill$ uname -a
Linux jruffsr-shop 4.19.106-rt44-lcnc #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Mar 5 00:02:34 AEDT 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No LPT settings in the BIOS to check.

Running lspci -vv of found the following.
02:00.0 Parallel controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device c110 (prog-if 02 [ECP])
Subsystem: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device c110
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
Region 0: I/O ports at d010
Region 1: I/O ports at d000
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: parport_pc
Kernel modules: parport_pc

So I ran StepConf Wizard and imported my old Mach2Mill.xml settings file.
I changed the parport to 0xd010 from the information found above. But i was unable to get any response from the mill.

Mach3Mill.hal entries
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xd000 out"
setp parport.0.reset-time 5000
loadrt stepgen step_type=0,0,0,0

addf parport.0.read base-thread
addf stepgen.make-pulses base-thread
addf parport.0.write base-thread
addf parport.0.reset base-thread

running lsmod I found the following
parport_pc 32768 1
ppdev 20480 0
lp 20480 0
parport 49152 3 parport_pc,lp,ppdev


I am very new to Linux and and getting nowhere on a solution.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

The kernel is detecting and configuring the parallel port so just using the port number instead of the full address should work.

What does typing this command at the command prompt show?
