LPT driver broke in 1511
For anyone using the parallel port on their computer for a printer or other device like a lot of restaurants use the printer option, the driver has been broken on the 1511 update.
Workarounds
Enable Legacy PNP devices in the port properties in device manager.
or
disable and reable the port in device manager
or
create a log on script that disables and enables the port using devcon.exe from Windows Driver Kit.
The workaround lasts as long as you dont reboot, if you do the workaround has to be re-applied.
