The answer is that since 'parallel port' is not a part of c++ standard, it depends on computer type and operating system it is running.

google for WriteFile parallel port. If you want to control individual pins (bitbanging) search for inpout32.

I'd like to write a simple application that interfaces with the parallel port, and changes the data on it according to keyboard input. I hope I can get it to run under windows xp and / or windows 2000. How can I do this? What do I need to know? It doesn't look like the standard library (the one under my pillow) has that feature. In addition, I've heard that with newer versions of windows don't let you communicate with the port directly,...

I would like to know how one can use the parallel port through c/c++.Also, how does one determine what port is installed(EPP/ECP/SSP/PS2)? What is the differnece between these? What are the current sinking/drawing capacities of these ports? If possible, please give examples in C/C++. Thanks I would be grateful if any ebooks/tutorials could be provided at karanmalhotra85@yahoo.com

Hello, I want to create a small project which will display scrolling text on LED that will be attached to Parallel port. I want to create this project in C language(possibly in Mingw) on Windows XP. I want to know how can i access(read and write data) on parallel port in XP. I have a program that do the same thing but in its documentation it says that it will not work on Windows XP.

Hi, I want to control some motors using the parallel port.. however, my laptop does not have any parallel ports (very few do). What I do have is a USB->Parallel converter... I thought about using PyParallel, but the USB->Parallel converter doesn't actually map to the LPT port .. and PyParallel only looks for LPT ports? Has anyone tried doing this? What are my options for controlling parallel connections on a laptop with no parallel...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
