Could anybody tell me how to go into BIOS to set up
printer port?
 
Can you explain a bit more, please (like why you think you need to change bios setting?)

Are you able to access your bios settings (by pressing del key for example when machine is booting?)
 
if del doesnt work try the function keys - usually f1 or f2
 

My Printers not working and I wanted to see if
the port is open for the signal to go to the printer
I have tried different printers and it said no comuniction
that same message with any printer. I am a novice computer
user and hoping there's an easy way to repair.
 
Is the printer cable ok?
Is the parallel port connection to the motherboard ok?

I think its much more likely to be a physical problem - the bios setting for the parallel port normally defaults to the correct value - though wouldn't hurt to go into bios settings and check that its not been disabled there.
 
Sorry for the delay, I found the printer port was disabled,
All okay now "Thank you All."
