This example uses VISA to write data to the parallel port. NI-VISA 1.1 was the first version that supported parallel communications. If you have an earlier version, this example will not work. When using the parallel port, pins 2-9 are data pins with pin 9 being the most significant bit. Also, pins 11 (printer busy) and 12 (printer out of paper) must be grounded to transmit data.
