AND gray they shall stay. LPT is NOT supported on XP as it was not on
NT and WIN2000. You will have to find another way. Since everyone is going
to XP one day I hope he writes a driver for LPT because it is sorely needed.
Until then, search the archives, I think there is a driver available.
Someone wrote about using it here a week or so ago.
