For what OS? If you use windows, open a file to "LPT1:", if you are using UNIX flavor, open a file to "/dev/....". Hmm, seems like I have forgotten the device name for the parallel port in UNIX. :) if it is a serial it is Stty0 for the first port I think, but for parallel? Not sure.

Anyway, the point here is that you probably don't need a driver, unless you need to use the line signals. Then that gets a bit more complicated and you need to still need to know the OS to be able to interface with the correct API. But if you are just using it as a line printer, or even a PS printer, you only need to really access it via a file handle.

Hope this helps.
