Parallel port pin definitions on the PC for LPT1 are as follows:

Pin 1 = -Strobe from PC(not the strobe on main menu)
Pin 2 = +Data bit 0 from PC
Pin 3 = +Data bit 1 from PC
Pin 4 = +Data bit 2 from PC
Pin 5 = +Data bit 3 from PC
Pin 6 = +Data bit 4 from PC
Pin 7 = +Data bit 5 from PC
Pin 8 = +Data bit 6 from PC
Pin 9 = +Data bit 7 from PC
Pin 10 = -Acknowledge to PC
Pin 11 = +Busy to PC
Pin 12 = +P.End (out of paper) to PC
Pin 13 = +Select to PC
Pin 14 = -AutoFeed from PC
Pin 15 = -Error to PC
Pin 16 = -Initialize Printer from PC
Pin 17 = -Select Input from PC
Pin 18-25 = Ground

If you need a CLOCK you wll have to program (VB, Q-Basic and so on) one of the 8 Data lines to output a square wave of required frequency ..

There is no clock pin. Just control pins that will toggle on or off to signify valid data on the line and handshakes and the like. Depends on what mode you are in. You wouldn't want data clocked because in a preemptive multitasking OS like Windows your program would not be able to handle clocked data. You get preempted once and you're screwed. Much better to use handshaking.

ECP is complicated. Go for SPP
It is enough for reading
