- OK, the PC parallel port has two select pins. One comming FROM the
- printer to indicate it is on-line, the other going TO the printer
- to place it on-line.
-
- Now I have checked every technical reference I can lay my hands on
- and the manuals for every compiler/language I have and nowhere can
- I find how to set the select output pin on the parallel port. ( I
- have also pestered everyone whom I though might know)
-
- Anybody have any clues? code fragments? pointers to books?
-
- Thank You,
- John
