With windows XP, normal inport, outport functions do not seem to work. I downloaded a utility to open ports and then use these funtions, but it didnt help. Anyone can give details how to do parallel port programming in XP using C?

you need inpout32.dll, a 32 bits version of the old inp() and out() functions.

inport() and outport() functions do work if you have opened the port. I use a software called Userport to do the same. Alternatively you could try inportb() and outportb(). Here is a tutorial on parallel port programming in C

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
