parallel port visa

How to address this problem? It is 2017 now and I am still facing this..

Exactly what problem are you facing?

It is 2017.  Does anyone have a parallel port anymore on their PC?

Many don't even have RS-232 ports nowadays. lets alone a parallel port. And the parallel port LaserJet printer that I used on my Atom based mini PC at home has gone to recycling quite a few years ago too! That mini PC is to old and to underpowered to run anything beyond Windows XP, so I installed Linux on it.

I'm afraid that 2017 means that the time of the parallel port has definitely gone and expecting any software to add even a micro feature to existing parallel support is simply in vain. You can nowadays buy an USB DAQ box for less than what a parallel port card cost in the late 80ies of the previous century.

Well, in my case the use of parallel port is a must. Nevermind, I choose to use inpout32.dll and inpoutx64x.dll in labview and they worked.

Hello!

Someone has developed the code to communicate with the parallel port, with the DLL inpout32.dll and ipoutx64.dll. I have tried it in windows 10 but they do not work for me.

Thanks in advance!
