Hello Andrea,

You can use the In Port and Out Port VIs (in the Advanced >> Port I/O palette) to read from specific register address. These VIs will only work for Win 95/98 computers.

I recommend that you use the information from this site: http://www.fapo.com/eppmode.htm to assist you with adress designations, and calling conventions.

For additional VIs that access the parallel port, please go to the National Instruments Example Program database: http://www.ni.com/support/epd/, and use the search words: +labview +"parallel port".
