When you are looking at the pp# addressing, the actual hardware pin numbers are in computer natural logical format.
+
When you are looking at the '''pp#''' addressing, the actual hardware pin numbers are in computer natural logical format.
So hardware pin " D0 " on lpt port is = to pp1 in the software setup and so hardware pin " D7 " is = pp8
+
So hardware pin '''''D0''''' on the LPT port is equal to '''''pp1''''' in the software configuration.

"0" is the first number to a computer as seen at the BIOS and/or hardware addressing.

Be sure you are testing/setting/attaching the correct pin number.
