working with lpt

[purusingh1]

How do I send the commands to lpt in winnt-xp
like _outp,_outd

Do you want to talk to the parallel port or to a printer?

Try opening the file "LPT1:" and writing to it.

As the following codes but that works only with win9x.









# include <dos.h>

main( )

{

int i = 0 ;

unsigned char seg[ ] = {

64 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 16 | 32, /* 0 */

16 | 4, /* 1 */

32 | 16 | 128 | 1 | 2, /* 2 */

32 | 16 | 128 | 4 | 2, /* 3 */

64 | 128 | 16 | 4, /* 4 */

32 | 64 | 128 | 4 | 2, /* 5 */

32 | 64 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 128, /* 6 */

32 | 16 | 4, /* 7 */

32 | 64 | 128 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 16, /* 8 */

32 | 64 | 128 | 16 | 4 | 2 /* 9 */

} ;

while ( ! kbhit( ) )

{

outportb ( 0x378, seg[ i ] ) ;

delay ( 1000 ) ;

i++ ;

if ( i == 10 )

i = 0 ;

}

outportb ( 0x378, 0 ) ;

}
