In Windows NT 3.51 I am having trouble with an EZ135 parallel port drive attached to LPT1 (I/O address 378) interfering with a printer on LPT2 (I/O address 278). When the EZ135 PP drive is not connected the printer on LPT2 works just fine.

In Event Viewer I get the following error messages and event details:

Source: Parport, EventID: 22
