Is EPP/ECP relevant to PLIP?  The plip(4) manpages I have at ready hand
(5.2 and 9.0) specifically disclaim any such need:

     Data is transferred 4 bits at a time, using the printer status lines for
     input: hence there is no requirement for special bidirectional hardware
     and any standard AT-compatible printer port with working interrupts may
     be used.
