Script can't find LPT1 port

Hello,

I am trying to trigger a Biopac system via the LPT1 port. When I try to run the script, I get the following error: "Parallel port 1 not found on this machine." However, I am able to trigger our biopac system through the parallel port monitor, which means that the port must be working. The parallel port monitor has the correct port number and address. I have also tried to specify the address with the lptaddresses attribute. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've also attached my script.

Please try the following pre-release build and see if that fixes the problem:

You can also specify the LPT1 address expicitly per /lptaddresses in the script's <defaults>:
