I’m looking for a way to access the parallel port; I have run UserPort in windows which created a service to open the port. However this solution is not very portable, or even safe. Also, I cannot write to 890, which is the control register and required for changing the data port from read to write. Inpout32.dll is suppose to solve this, but I have not been able to implement this into code.
