Did you reprogram CR04 to the desired mode?
The patch (see below) for 2.3.99 tries to identify some chips
and a user expanded this and reported success on identifying
and reprogramming his ISA chip on a parallel port PCI card (that
included some custom PCI-ISA bridge of course),

Please note that EPP detection by the parport code in linux is
not fail proof (and cannot be by EPP hardware design)!
