Hello I can realy use some help,

I'm working on a school assignment:

What I'm building:
I have 3 webcam wich are connected to a manual selector device. So  can
switch between the input by hand. I want to build a program and a new device
so I can switch electronic. The decive should be connected to the comm or
LPT poort.

Problem:
I want to write data to a extern device but I don't know how (comm or Lpt).
In the futere I would like to attach the device at an other computer. So I
have to be able to control the used port (comm or lpt) through a network.

Questions:
What is the best way to send data to a extern device? Comm or LPT?
Can someone sent me an exampel about sending data to the comm or LPT port.
Remember the device is not a modem.

Thanks Rick
