See the ppbus(4), ppi(4) and ppc(4) man pages. The ability to change
mode on the parallel bus is a feature of certain chipsets and may not
be available on your hardware --- for instance my Asus A7V266
motherboard only supports NIBBLE mode:
% grep ppc /var/run/dmesg.boot
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode
Cheers,
Matthew
