The drivers already exist, you don't have to write them. Read this article and follow the links to examples in codeproject.com

These drivers are something like not making me use C atol !! i also want to control the parallel port from C !

You can't access the port directly, MS-Windows won't let you. Download this library which will let you access the ports.
