Dear helpers,

    i would like to read data from parallel port. is any control is 
available for this, or any special APIs avilable for this. please help me 
out. one more thing, there is a device which has the parallel outout 25 
pin (male) port. i would like to read data form that port. in my system 
too i'm having 25 pin male port only, but i'm having another card to 
connect these two port which has female connector in both ends. is that is 
possible to read the data using this, if so please let me know the 
details, else guide me for the alternative sources.

thanking u in advance
