Has anyone written anything similar to comport for the parallel printer ports? Can anyone point me in the right direction for writing an external that would be able to send and receive data from the parallel ports?
Thanks Phil

apart from reading and writing to the parallel port it would be interesting to simply set pins of ports. i recently nearly would have needed it for triggering electronics without using a microcontroller. a library can be found here:
http://parapin.sourceforge.net/doc/parapin.html
wrapping it up in an external should be fairly straight-forward. in the document above are links to parallel port faqs that might help you learning more about this port.
the problem is: less and less computers feature a parport as printers are connected via usb or ethernet/wlan. better code fast!

I made an external for the parapin library, in 2003: http://puredata.info/Members/odradek/parapin/ It works very well, and it's still being used for a stupid tv game show. It requires root permissions (I use sudo). I build it using flext, but the archive comes with a compiled external that runs on new systems (I just tried). Have fun! -- Marc

zexy's [lpt] (or formerly [lp]) can write to the parallel port (also to multiple ports)
currently, it has only 8bits output and no input at all. however, i have a patch lying around to get 16bits out and 8bits in; just have to find it...
