Printer Ports

Compaq Servers have the following Parallel Port Setup: 
LPT Port     I/O Address
  LPT1           3BC
  LPT2           378
  LPT3           278
Common Printer port settings are as follows: 
LPT Port     I/O Address
  LPT1           378
  LPT2           3BC
  LPT3           278
So whenever setting up printer ports, be sure to either make the operating system use the address that the Compaq printer port is using, or change the Compaq hardware to use a different printer port (to change the addres to match your software).

COM Port     I/O Address     IRQ

  COM3           3E8          4
