- Hello.
-
- I am trying to lock the parrallel port so that no other
- multitasking program can interfere with my data transer in windows.
-
- I have discovered that OpenComm() apperantly locks the port
- when you open it. BUT i wrote a little program that opens the port
- and ran it, while the program was running i opened notepad and
- tryed printing. Much to my suprise, the notepad document printed
- even tho i had Opened LPT1.
-
- Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is happening?
