    Computer not working with printer card

    Hi all,

    I have a simple problem, I hope it has a simple solution.
    Since a Dot Matrix Citizen printer started spewing gibberish, a check was made to find the culprit. It was decided the printer is fine (connected to another computer) and nothing wrong with the cable. That left the computer and its LPT connection so
    a ST Lab printer card was bought to replace it. For some strange reason, however, the computer refuses to even be turned on, with the card in either of the 3 slots we tried. The printer card works w/o a problem in another computer.
    Is this a MB issue or is there something that can be done to use the card?
    BTW, I did disable the LPT port in the Bios, of course.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
