Check motherboard circuit. Generally tracks gets cracked or cable, connector may be faulty.

First check ur BIOS & see u Haven`t disbale parallel port fr there
then check for ur parallal port connecter is it connected ok or not
then open ur cabinet and check for port screws
after that go for the checking of MOB crackes of cable check

If your printer supports USB interface then get a usb cable for your printer. It is cheap and fast.
