Of course, the tester I built is quite simple. For D0-D7, it's just made
of a ULN2803A, a few resistors and red leds. For other pins of the
parallel port (PP), just 2 ULN2003AN with leds and resitors. The whole
thing is powered with a regulated 5 V supply. The tester is connected
to the PP with a extension cable (male-male subd25 pins). No printer is
connected on the port.

OK, I work with a ECS K7S5A and a mandrake linux 9.1. The PP is in SPP
mode in the bios.
here is my lilo.conf(well, the part I start with):
default="linux"
keytable=/boot/fr-latin1.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet"
vga=788
read-only
and my /etc/modules:
scsi_hostadapter
and the /etc/modules.conf one:
probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias eth0 sis900
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
probeall usb-interface usb-ohci

In fact, I posted because, when I start my computer with windows, all
the leds from D0-D7 stay turned off and it is'nt the case when booting
with linux. As I want to drive some stepper motors with the it, I'm
afraid that this activity on my printer port would make them go crazy.
I've also encountered the same problem as filip, that is to say that
when I write 0X00, pins change to LOW for few ms and then return in the
state they where in before. Same thing when I write 0xFF.
In the previeous message, I said that some leds where steady, In fact
they just look steady to me (persitence of vision) but they might be
blinking very fast.
Thanks for your help
Best regards.
Blaise
