What happened?

When I start printing through Windows 98, an ECP port error appears, and when I print through DOS using a text printer, it was printed in .ps format.

where "Порт принтера ECP" is the LPT port

Bi-directional LPT is not supported at the moment.

Remzloi commented

to be honest, printing on the LPT1 port does not work for me

lemondrops commented

Go to BIOS setup and disable ECP/EPP there.

Remzloi commented

where are the ESC/P settings?

Chipset Features Setup -> Parallel Port Mode, set it to "Normal".

OBattler commented

Yes, change the parallel port type in CMOS setup. Therefore, closing this as NOTABUG.
