Dont know why this post is here, but here goes:

Since you cant "directly" poke a value to the lpt port, you
will have to decide what pin you want on, convert that binary
layout to decimal and send that character to the lpt port.

This is really a programming task.  Let me know if you want
one written.  It will cost, but so does everything else.
