Installing msp430-jtag

Development Boards MicroMod

Hi, i’m new to programming MSP430 devices. I recently purchased the msp430 from olimex (the one that uses the parallel port). I’m trying to get it work with Olimex MSP430-JTAG programmer, but i keep getting the same error: cannot initialize the port! I’m guessing i need to install the drivers from olimex, but all the installations guide i’ve read seem to work only with MSP430-JTAG-TINY, MSP430-JTAG-ISO or MSP430-JTAG-RF (and not with MSP430-JTAG). This is because they all assume you can connect something to the usb port. Since MSP430-JTAG works with parallel port, this is impossible to me. Any suggestions? Does anyone know how to install this driver? Thanks.
