Saad,
Please see the this thread, there is link in one of my replies that will help you. You need to copy the free dll (inpout32.dll) when your have downloaded it into your system directory and then call it using turbo c. You will be able to access the parallel port provided that it is a hardware parallel port including all its control registers. Virtual parallel ports will not work as far as I know.



If you have trouble I will try to help although I have not used Turbo C for a number of years now.

I hope this helps
Regards
Bob.
