CAUSE
Some of the parallel port entries in the [ports] section of the WIN.INI file contain lowercase letters.

To make the printer configuration options available, edit the parallel port entries in the [ports] section of the WIN.INI file. Change the parallel port entries so that they are in all uppercase letters.

MORE INFORMATION
