There are parport cards that do not properly do the mode emc uses, Rosewill being one of them. I have on hand another card, a PCI1P from StarTech.com according to the box that claims all 3 of the common modes are supported. However, as in all things that require I pull the emc computer off its high shelf in the shop, it has not been actually tested. Perhaps others here have also found a card that works reliably? I believe EPP is the magic acronym. You didn't say what brand your card is, so I can't go much farther. Please post the snippet from an lspci -v that represents your add-in card.
