    Basic communicating with parallel port

    Can QBasic communicate with the parallel port directly? Easily?

    Re: Basic communicating with parallel port

    You can output directly to it (in QB45)

    VB Code:
    1. OPEN "LPT1:" FOR OUTPUT AS #1 ' Opens the Basic Device

    2.  
    3.  
    4. OPEN "LPT1:" FOR OUTPUT AS #1 ' Opens the DOS Device

    I haven't tried Input, or I/O access.
    It does have something about communicating with a driver, also
