I'm afraid you're in the wrong newsgroup. C++ specific issues is the
intent at comp.lang.c++
Mark
but i would like to do it through c++ program ...
Your question relates to a particular device and how to control it. It is
not about the C++ language. Your question, interesting though it is, is
therefore off topic for this newsgroup. I think the concensus on the
newsgroup is that discussion should be kept strictly within the bounds of
the topic as defined by the FAQ.
This may seem irritating, and my view is that sometimes people are too keen
to rule subjects off topic. However, I believe the rationale is that if we
start discussing topics like the lpt port, next we'll be discussing the
Windows API and other operating system specific issues, and before you know
it discussion of the C++ language itself will be completely swamped.
