--- Comment #13 from TCH tch@protonmail.com --- (In reply to Fabian Maurer from comment #12)
It did never work, wine didn't remove anything relevant. The thing Olivier linked is unrelated and only affects DOS applications.
I know that commit only affected DOS stuff, i even said it. However, under WINE 4.x this did not cause any errors. I cannot recall though, if LPT controllong Delphi programs did work under it, or not...
Drivers that need I/O port access are not very likely to work anytime soon in Wine, and you don't seem to need it anyways, so I'd just uninstall the driver. If you feel worried you can always make a backup of the WINEPREFIX first.
Currently i do not need it, but i do use the LPT for controlling stuff, for example my 1541 emulator (http://oscomp.hu/?details/e1541_Linux_AMD64_v1.0.2_Linux_1489) or my Amiga<->PC programs. Sure, those are all Linux programs, but if i want to run a win32 program which controls the LPT, i would need it.
