Tried rebooting the machine, that seems to fix a lot of problems in Windows 98, especially because your using LPT1 and not a USB port.
Hiya Yorkie

If all the lights are flashing and the printer will not function try this reset sequence: hold-down the ink button and paper feed button while turning-on the machine. Hold for 10 seconds and release. Then hold down the ink button until all lights start flashing and release.

It worked for me.
