It depends on your C, since C has no intrinsic I/O ! If that is your
hardware port output command and syntax, then yes, it will work. The
port addresses, do they need to be decimal, hex, or either? I would
suppose either, so what you need to do is ftp the file: ibmlpt.faq
from my ftp site: ftp.armory.com/pub/user/rstevew  and read it! You
may also need to write to the control port and read the status port as
well, so you might as well learn that if you wish to ever input
(inport() ? ) data in C.
