How to read 32 bit from my EPP 32bit data register?

I am researcher of electronic instrumentation. I was trying to interface a data acquisition circuit (build by me) with the computer in LabView 6.1. I am using the parallel port in EPP mode under Windows-2000 with the AccessHW library found on the NI.com site (thanks very much)!
It works very well but it reaches only 70KB/s. Reading a word instead of a byte it reaches 140KB/s! and it is good! I want to read two words at time from my 32 Bit EPP DATA register but the �In Port.vi� doesn�t support it. So I ask you a .vi that can read 32Bit from the port! Please help me.

The parallel port only has 25 lines. Several lines are used for grounding and some are used for control and status. You cannot get 32 bits from <25 lines.
