LPT-port in LabView 5.0 under Solaris v.2.6 ?

[ilyuxa]

Hi all!
How can I access LPT-port in LabView 5.0 under Solaris v.2.6 ? The "Port-In/Port-Out" .vi's work fine under Win'98. But they do not exist in my version of LV5 under Solaris 2.6. Should I upgrade to LV v.7 or other?

LabVIEW only supports port I/O natively on the Windows OS due to the availability of port communication built into the Windows API. There is a knowledgebase on this issue, which I have linked here. If you have 3rd party software that does parallel port communication and provides DLL function calls, you could try using that with LabVIEW as a workaround.
