How to access the parrallel port

C++ does not support port but most platforms treat ports sort of like a file (providing you read/write commands or allowing you to open the port as a filename to use those read/write commands). Parallel ports are harder than serial so if you have no experience you will want to use someone else's code or start with a serial port and work your way up.

Thanks for the advises but if any one have an article or document about such a thing please send it
with my best regards :WAVE:
I gave you a link. Did you care to look at it. It has help file(pdf) and sample codes.

hello all,

even i was looking for material onthis. Nokia2280, porttalk link is pretty exhaustive. will read it and come back. :)

You don't even need to read it full.

Just read this paragraph

The driver can also be installed manually using the registry file included. Copy the PORTTALK.SYS to your /system32/drivers directory and click on the PORTTALK.REG file to load the required registry keys. Then reboot the computer and on boot-up the PORTTALK.SYS driver will load and start automatically. This is recommended for classroom/corporate use where the driver can be stored away securely in the system directory.

And then run the sample code given after it

i.e
Talking to the Device Driver - User Mode APIs

That will start your things running in no time.
