INSTRUCTIONS ON MAKING A LAVA PCI PARALLEL PORT LPT1

There is no automatic way to get the Lava Parallel
PCI installed as LPT1. The only way to have the
Lava Parallel PCI stay as LPT1 is a direct
manipulation of the Registry.

The following method manipulates the Lava Parallel PCI to LPT1.

1) Enter the registry editor by typing regedit from Start|Run.

2) Look in this portion of the registry.

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\PCI\VEN_1407&DEV_8000\BUS_00&DEV_0A&FUNC_00]

Change the following registry values from LPT2
to LPT1 by double-clicking the tab icon to the left of
their names.

  "DeviceDesc"="Lava Parallel PCI (LPT2)"
  "PORTNAME"="LPT2"
  "FRIENDLYNAME"="Lava Parallel PCI (LPT2)"

When complete they should look like this:

  "DeviceDesc"="Lava Parallel PCI (LPT1)"
  "PORTNAME"="LPT1"
  "FRIENDLYNAME"="Lava Parallel PCI (LPT1)"

3) This changes your OnBoard Parallel Port to LPT2.

Look in this portion of the registry.

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\BIOS\*PNP0400\0B]

Note: your system may have a different key name
at the end (0B) depending upon how your motherboard
identifies its printer port.

Change the following registry values from LPT1
to LPT2 by double-clicking the tab icon to the
left of their names.

  "DeviceDesc"="Printer Port (LPT1)"
  "PORTNAME"="LPT1"
  "FRIENDLYNAME"Printer Port (LPT1)"

When complete they should look like this:

  "DeviceDesc"="Printer Port (LPT2)"
  "PORTNAME"="LPT2"
  "FRIENDLYNAME"Printer Port (LPT2)"

4) Exit the registry editor and restart Windows.

5) Verify the LPT settings for your Printer Ports
in Device Manager for Ports (COM and LPT).
