Hmm, this is a problem I've encountered before with older parallel port
devies.. Usually it is fixed by changing the mode of the port form ECP or
EPP to standard. I'm not at all familiar with the PSP so I don't know what
MChip recommends but it can't hurt to try. Usually these settings can be
changed in the peripheral section of the BIOS. TTYL
