Yes:
 - the parallel port:
	* Auto, Disabled, 378, 278 or 3BC
 - the parallel port mode:
	* Normal, Bi-Dir, ECP, EPP or EPP+ECP
 - the parallel port IRQ:
	* 5 or 7

It's also possible to choose the EPP version (1.9 or 1.7) and/or the DMA
channel (0, 1 or 3) when ECP or EPP are selected.

My settings where: port=378, mode=normal and irq=7. I tried with the
others mode (Bi-Dir, ECP, EPP and EPP+ECP); LP_PSELECD is still defined
and I also still get hundreds of timeout and buffer overrun messages.

Others BIOS settings that may affect the behaviour (?):
 - Plug and Play aware OS: Yes
 - All DMA Channels and IRQs: PnP
