Hi, I'm trying to find simple code to control the parallel port from Visual Basic 6. I have it coded in QuickBASIC, but this is very primitive and I would like to transfer it into VB. The only problem is, I have no idea what the commands are, all I can find is controlling the printer, but I just want to send bits down the parallel port, not print a document. This is the code I figured out for QB (where thenumber could be from 0 to 256): OUT &H378, thenumer Does anyone know how to do this simply in VB? Thanks a lot Kevin White
