I'm not sure what you mean by "braking" the DLL so that it will work under Win2K.
The basic problem is that WinNT and Win2K protect the physical hardware from being accessed by a user-mode program. You have to be a device driver to directly access the I/O port addresses of the LPT port(s) on your system.
I do know of a little utility device driver called "TinyPort" that runs under NT/2K which is used to give C programs access to the I/O port addresses used by the LPT port(s). Perhaps the TinyPort utility in combination with the parallel port extender would work for accessing the LPT port(s) under NT/2K.
