Subject: The Parallel port API- I need to write a device driver...!

Where can I find information on how to write a
parallel port driver for a device im working on that
needs to connect to a parallel port, I don't want
to write a driver for the parallel port just the device
that uses it.

Any help or advice would be helpful,
please 'cc any mail you send me to
[email protected] as Im not sure this account
is working properly. Thanks.

Cheers, Dean.
