You have to set up your software and programmer hardware.
Install the WinPic software.
Make sure you have RIGHT CLICKED the following configuration file link on
the page http://www.ise.pw.edu.pl/~wzab/opiclab/ and click SAVE LINK AS and select
C:\Program Files\WinPic\interfaces\Wzab2.ini (this is the location for a
standard English install of windows XP if you have a different setup save it in winpic's
interfaces directory.)
If you have built your programmer with the 74LS07 this file is ok
If you built it with the 74ls06 as in the diagram on the page you need to open this file with
notepad and change the following lines:
VppOnOff=!D6 to VppOnOff=D6
ClockOut=D4 to ClockOut=!D4
DataOut=D3 to DataOut=!D3
and save it.
Start up WinPic and select the INTERFACES tab
Under interface type select "Custom, on LPT port , defined by FILE"
Under Custom interface definition file click select and pick "Wzab2.ini"
Select the options tab.
Make sure that "use SMPORT" is selected.
Check if it programs.
If it does not program report back to the list and I will tell you how to check if the hardware
works.
If your only object is to program this chip to build another programmer
I (or I am sure there is someone else closer to you) could program it for you.

for the SN7406N you also need to change the three lines in the ini file
these are for any open collector inverting buffer chip (the ls just indicates low-power Schottky)
Do not forget to restart WinPic after changing the file

I did changed these three lines.

I did so.
I still get the error messages.
I try out to program this PIC18F2550 with Pikdev too, on the Debian
GNU/Linux Lenny system. Here Pikdev can't even detect the PIC.
We'll stay with WinPic for now (I'm not Unix trained)
Remove the 18F2550 from it's socket
In WinPic on the "interface" tab under "interface check"
-check the Vpp checkbox and measure the voltage to the pin 1 Vpp
verify it is between 9 and 13.25 volt referenced to GND
-uncheck the Vpp checkbox and measure the voltage to the pin
verify it is below 0.7 volt referenced to GND
-check the Clock checkbox and and measure the voltage to the pin 27 PGC
verify it is higher than 2.5 volt referenced to GND
-uncheck the Clock checkbox and and measure the voltage to the pin
verify it is lower than 0.7 volt referenced to GND
-check the Data (to pic) checkbox and and measure the voltage to the pin 28 PGD
verify it is higher than 2.5 volt referenced to GND
also verify you can read Data In = 1 just below the "data to pic" checkbox (the actual status detected)
-uncheck the Data checkbox and and measure the voltage to the pin
verify it is lower than 0.7 volt referenced to GND
also verify you can read Data In = 0
Make sure you have 5 volt on pin 20 ,Vdd
and 0 volt on pin 8 and 19 , Vss
