parallel port - once more

[kwarta]

Hello everybody
I have still problems with LPT ports communication.
I want to access data line 1,2,3. I have downloaded and installed
accesshw and tried "port out" and many others. All I got is error
nr. 37. I learned that it means that Labview can not see the
device, but how I should make it visible.
I even add a line in labview ini file like:
serialDevices="COM1;COM2;LPT1"
Did not help.
I have Windows NT 4.0 workstation. LV 6.0.

Best regards

I found the following link useful

Good luck

Something I forgot to mention

The port number for the Seral Port Write.vi depends on the position of LPT1 in your serialDevices list ie. COM1 is item 0, COM2 is 1 and LPT1 is 2. So you'll need to use 2

Hope I haven't confused you!
