how to use lpt2: in windows xp

You don't need using any third part program. I suppose you want to program your own code. You could use .NET and consult www.codeproject.com. There you can find out some articles about accessing LPT port with .NET on Windows XP. It's easy indeed.

Really? Without loading a special kernel mode driver? Please show me where it is on that site!

I usually recommend PortTalk, or something from here:

kernel mode lpt driver for xp

it uses C# sorry, but I think VC++ .NET has the same object. Try MSDN

Maybe I'm missing something, but all I see there is programmers discussing how to use inpout32.dll, a third-party DLL that installs a kernel mode driver. More info:

I have used inpout32.dll. It works, but I prefer PortTalk.
 

io access under xp

mmh yes you are right. mmh haha i must read the next one carefully (really i found this article looking for an usb access)

sorry

plz tell something to interface in C
 

xp mode lpt

The problem is, windows in generial wants to be able to allow multiple programs access the devices of the computer.. So it doens't allow any devices (natively)to have full raw read/write control over the ports..

Let me see

Here are some links (some might be applicable.. some might not:

h**p://www.paraport.net/source/index.html

Hope that helps
