Output to and Input from printer port

Greetings!
Is there a way to send data to and read it directly from the parallel
printer port using VB6? We did this years ago on a 8088 using assembly
language. I need to be able to set each bit high or low and also read in if
switches on the parallel printer port are open or closed.

Thanks for any help or advice.
