Maybe it's a problem of the parallel port speed. Are you able to print thru the
port? My first idea would be to check the bios settings; there are different
port modes. I have no problems with ECP/EPP-mode on my Gigabyte board with
P2-333 and Windows 98 (first edition). Make sure that there are no interrupt
connflicts etc. in the system configuration.

Good luck...
