     Here's some code I used on a Compaq Armada 1530. Don't if if it will
    work
     on a 7800.

    /*
     * Compaq parallel port setup
     */

    inline void ppmode_begin__cf(unsigned char x)
    {
      outb(x, 0xFB);
    }

    inline void ppmode_end__cf(unsigned char x)
    {
      outb(x, 0xF9);
    }

    static void ppmode__c(unsigned char x, unsigned char y)
    {
      ppmode_begin__cf(y);
      outb(x, 0xE2);
      outb(y, 0xE3);
      ppmode_end__cf(y);
    }

    static void ppmode__f(unsigned char x, unsigned char y)
