A good first question is, "does my OS allow me to send data directly to the printer port's registers?" If you don't know the answer to that one, go ask it first in a newsgroup appropriate to your OS. If you know the answer to be yes, then the next question would be, how is this typically done under your OS? -- T.E.D.
