Alan,
I have had the same problems in the past with the LPT1 port drivers.
I use Windows XP, and I have used both UserPort and DLPortIO and had only
partial success.
However, when I discovered another LPT1 driver package, which is named
"Direct IO", I installed this package and have had no problems.
So, I would obtain a trial version of Direct IO and download it to your
machine. You can uninstall UserPort or uninstall DLPortIO depending on which
program you are currently using.
When you install Direct IO you have to specify the LPT1 port range from
378-37B in Hex and then go into the security tab and put a path to the
executable file. Once you do this you can then see the LPT1 become active.
I think the trial of Direct IO is either two weeks or a month and then you
will have to purchase a licensed version for very little money.
Thanks,
Jim

Zoli hit a sore point for me.
I can no longer use WL due to the SO2R (lack of) support.
For some reason, LPT1 does not show up in WL and therefore I cannot use
SO2R.
N1MM works fine. Although I don't particularly like N1MM, I have no choice.
When WL picks up an intelligent SO2R support that does not get hung up on
LPT, I'll come back.
My particulars in case you're curious:
W2000 Professional OS
LPT1: appears to be working fine for all programs except WL.
UserPort is installed and setup correctly. WL used to find LPT1, but no
longer.
Within WL10.61E, LPT:2 appears, but all other LPTs are grayed out.
This is odd since I have no LPT2 either physical or virtual...confirmed by
Device Manager.
I've tried numerous hints and kinks to no avail.
My only clue is that LPT1 disappeared when I installed a new 200G HD as E:
... but it only disappeared for WL.
The new drive is only used for photos/videos/music.
I have given up.

>What I also considered negative and made me stop using and subscribing WL
at the end were certain policies like the lack of integrated >LPT support
for XP and the consequent lack of SO2R support (A/B bits on LPT ports only
thus not under XP). If W5XD had said "guys, >I need to invest X hours and Y
dollars to get it done, and it will come in version A which would cost you Z
dollars and would be available >in Q - R months" I would have been
supportive even without knowing X and Y. Knowing that Writelog team left
this problem to some >third party SW or HW really disappointed me.

less mature and less intuitive than Writelog but the two issues above are
fully addressed and for me that was important.
