Question : Problem: Parallel Port on Toshiba Laptop:  How to set it to EPP?

I need to set my printer port to EPP for a certain device I have to function, however when I enter the BIOS, the only two options I have are ECP and bi-drectional.  I tried both, and they are not compatible with my device.  The device manufacturer explicitly states it must be in EPP.  I am on a Toshiba Laptop, these are the specs:

The bios on my laptop said it was PhoenixBIOS v1.50.  Hope someone can help me out!  Thanks in advance.

Since the setting for EPP is not in the BIOS, the laptop probably does not support it. If there is an open PCMCIA slot, you could use the product below.
