LPT Port in Bios gets disabled

I have a pretty expensive Ricoh Laser Printer/Copyier/Scanner.

When I installed Vista, the printer no longer works. The document goes to
the print que and then errors out and sits there. When I reboot and check my
Bios, the LPT port is always turned back off. If I enable, when I get back to
Vista and check device manager, there are no memory or interupts set for the
printer and I cannot set any manually. It will not let me. HELP!
 
They have no drivers. By the way, I took the printer off the Sony PC it was
on and connected to the parallel on my Toshiba Notebook and manually
installed the HP 4L drivers which have always worked with this pronter since
Ricoh never even had XP driovers. The printer works fine on the notebook. On
the Desktop, it disables the LPT port in BIOS every time with no way to
override it.
