First of all, turn off busy-flag checking and see if it works that way. 
If that doesn't work, check 
http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki/HD44780 under "Timing" - 
start out with a timing.fuzz of 150 and see if that works.

Well, I guess Michael meant the signal levels on the data lines. I've 
seen cases where a display would refuse to work on certain parallel 
ports and worked just fine on others (using the same software to drive 
them). I never cared enough to check, but it's reasonable to assume that 
the parallel ports that worked hat 5V (or something close to it) for 
"high", and the ones where it didn't had only 3.3V.


I hope that helps
