This port corresponds to the MS-DOS device "LPT1". This procedure can be used to control robots and peripherals. for use with old fashioned pin ports (com, etc). ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Jan 20, 2004 8:21 pm ----------------------------------- Yea... they are going to have to add a USB output... cuz all new printers are USB....or at least the new Lexmarks.. ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jan 20, 2004 8:39 pm ----------------------------------- ahhh, if you whont to print to a printer you should not being using parallellput, you uses file comands. see my tutorial on it for more info.
