What operating system are you using?  If all LPT port selections are
greyed out, it means that WriteLog can not control the LPT port -
either the ports are disabled in BIOS or you have not installed the
necessary LPT driver.

See some or all of the following resources.

Of course, one can bypass all of the LPT "make do" and use a
microHAM micro2R <G>.
