currently I access the parallel port this way:
ioperm(data->baseaddr,5,1);
outb(0x00,data->controlport);
inb(data->statusport);
The big disadvantage: it requires root-privileges and works with real parallel port hardware only (means USB-2-LPT converters are not supported).
So: is there an other way tho read/write data from/to parallel port?
Thanks!
