Control of Priinter Port and Status Port

[sympatico]

I have the need to read the printer port as well as write to it. In the old
days, you would use peek and poke. Is there a simple way to make this
happen?
Thank you

I used information in this article to work with a barcode printer once.

Hopefully it's a start for you.

Hi,

You can download a .NET control for this from my homepage. (IONET). It is
free.
