Hi,

I need to look the parallel port in a specific mode to test my printer
comunication routines. Can I tell XP to ONLY try one of the Bidi, EPP, ECP
modes only?

You set those modes in the BIOS

Yes if Windows was using the BIOS, we have tried to change in the BIOS
without any result.

It looks like Windows do what it wants, it doesn't matter what the BIOS
says. For example, we only got nibble mode untill we went into the LPT
driver and turned on ECP interrupt. After that we saw some other modes. But
I need to lock windows to only use one of the modes so I can test one mode
at the time in my printer

In that case, open device manager and select the port
properties.
