Would it be for DOS or Windows? What mode are you planning on using
(SPP,EPP,ECP)?

DOS can use inp() and outp() for LPT communication. It's also very well
documented in several places but this one may be the best;

Windows has a completely different way of getting it done and is very OS
version dependant. Most Windows OS's don't want to let go of the LPT port
for anything other then printer output. Craig Peacock touches on this but
real in-depth information (in my experience) can only be obtained from a few
books. One of the best is "Parallel Port Complete". Look for it on Amazon,
it's cheap and it's a great source of information and example code.

Hope this helps,
