Thanks for your suggestion. But u seemed to have misunderstood my
intentions. I was asking for method, because I wanted to learn teh
mechanism of finding the parallel port base address.

You CAN'T find it out. Someone has to tell you. The BIOS does all of the
resource assignment at boot time, and puts it in a known spot. If you are
running DOS, that spot is in the low DOS memory. In Linux, it's in
/proc/ioports.
