The Title says it All

I cannot recommend this book highly enough for the home gageteer. The author Jan Axelson is a rare example of someone that knows her stuff, explains it well to novices, and provides excellent generic examples of code. The examples provided cover situations such as; exporting data bits out thru the parallel port, reading info from the data port, searching for data ports and addresses, and using the parallel port to communicate...

Doing Project work? -Just buy this book..It's Excellent

Excellent book. Technical issues discussed with great clarity and thourough understanding.A painstacking effort. Equally useful for hobyyists and professionals. Provides great insight into the working of parallel port and how best we can make use of this feature for interfacing the PC with external world.Several practical circuits given along with the VB programs.-Strongly Recommended.-Prof. M.G.BHATIA

Parallel Port Complete

This is a very good book for VB programmers who need to do communication programming over the parallel port. It includes a disk with a custom dll for accessing the port with several great examples and techniques of writing a communication program to be used by the parallel port. This book will be a great help to VB programmers who don't want to write C code to access the parallel port.

Very thorough treatment of parallel port control from VB.

This is a very good book for those interested in controlling the parallel port interface on the PC. The most common usage is for cheap/inexpensive data acquisition or control, but the book also covers "LapLink" type transfers, high speed printing and device chaining. In my opinion, this books greatest strength is that all of the code is provided in Visual Basic, Delphi and C. Visual Basic and Win95/WinNT cannot directly control...

This book provides one of a kind information. Buy it!

Axelson's book conducts you through the intricacies of accessing your PC parallel port from Visual Basic. It covers the all-important hardware details of each variation of parallel port, so that you can understand what may (and may not) be done using them. Sufficient example programs are included to illustrate each topic. Also included are the 16-bit and 32-bit DLLs required to access the parallel port I/O registers
