can't find lpt port

[MaxwellWR]

Hi all!

I'm new in ubuntu.

Install Ubuntu 9.10 for using JTAG throw LPT port and can't find /dev/parport0 or /dev/lp0.

Motherboard: GA-P43-ES3G

How can i solve this problem?

Silly suggestion ..... is parallel port enabled in the bios ??
Both /dev/parport0 & /dev/lp0 are present on my server box, which has port enabled.
Neither are present on my laptop which has port disabled in bios.

Yes. Port is enabled in the BIOS with the following parameters:
Address: 378 / IRQ7
Mode: SPP
