How to do that is OS dependent and there are no general answer on how
to do this in Ada. If you by "directly" means direct access to the 
hardware, that is not possible in user mode on operating systems like UNIX,
Linux and Windows NT. Code doing this must be in a driver or given
special permision by the OS.

You should try to look up in the OS documentation on how to do this.
If you get further problems, you can ask on this group, but then give
information of which OS and compiler you use.

Try to open it as a file named "LPT". It works for example with
"COM1"/"COM2".
