    Hi,

    > How I can not acknowledge?

    The board you have connected to your parallel port connects the strobe and
    acknowledge pins, which acknowledges data as soon as it is output. By
    not having that connection, you wouldn't be acknowledging.

    What does it do on that one? Something or nothing?

    Are you sure that there is no other program accessing the parallel port?
    A printer spooler for example?
