How do I send voltage through pins in parallel port?

Hi all,
I was just wondering if it is possible to use python to send pulses of 5 v (default) through the parallel port. I have made up a circuit board to interpret the pulses, yet this isn't helpful since there are no pulses to receive.

Here's some specs( maybe it will effect the code)
Output needed- 5 v ( pins 2,3,4)
- any voltage (pins 6,7,8)
Thanks in advance
