Hello friends, can anyone plz tell me how can i direct the output through the printer or parallel port of the computer? It is not for printer purpose but for the electrical purpose. I mainly need the electrical signals after the computer takes the decision then use it. Hope i am clear. U can also give me a site related to this.

Ya it is possible...

u can use outport function for eg. outport(address of parallel port,Data)
B4 that u must know abt the parrallel port pins - Data pins...

Data u r giving in outport function will be out in parallel port's data pins in binary form...
