if you are using "Printfil" to print that means you don't need LPT direct access from dosbox... you just print through a redirection of your print spooler... so you are missing something in your system configuration

moreover if you can print from inside db with e.g. dir > LPT1, the printer port is correctly driven by the driver inpout32 ... if you cannot print from your app it could be a problem of driver or printer compatibility...

you can find your parallel port address as in my previous post: In your dosbox.conf you need to add the correct address related to your lpt card (in win control panel, system, device manager, LPT) parallel1=reallpt realbase:ADD1 ecpbase:ADD2 (attached there is a screenshot) I'm not shure but I also …

Hi Hal, I could try to do some porting... do you think the internal funtions of InpOutx64: Inp32(), Out32(), IsInpOutDriverOpen(), DlPortReadPortUchar(), DlPortWritePortUchar() could be enough to replace porttalk? the main job for accessing parallel port in db megabuild is done in: directlpt_win32. …
