Working with the PC Parallel port is a little bit complicated using pure code. <br />
There are some Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's) and custom controls that enable easy access to this port as well as to the PC COM ports and any other USER port. <br />
I can send you by e-mail a sample project that uses a DLL to access these ports. Just comment me your e-mail address. <br />

i am working on a device connected to the parallel port. but its not a familiar device such as a printer or a scanner...what i need is to know how to send a desired byte to the LPT Port while programming in visual basic of course.<br />
thanx

LPT Port Programming

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
