That does not match with the line of code you have shown. However, assuming that's just a typo, where is TView<U> defined?
Use the best guess

New motherboards do not have built in printer ports. There are many devices that used these ports. I have several chip programming adapters.
I would like to be able to read and write the LPT ports directly. Not using the Windows print spooler.
Does anyone know where to get the port information for PCI parallel port?

The people that sell the PCI parallel cards will not give you the information on how to direct access them.

Yes, I read that article. As it says, the PCI parallel card are useless for anything other than connecting a printer. They are not a PCI implementation of the original ISA parallel card.
I have aone computer with a motherboard PP. I have an older Pentium motherboard with both a motherboard PP and ISA slots. So the most rational solution is a special computer for my programmers that use the PP devices.
Thanks for the help.

That's an interesting solution but I need to do this to a non-laptop computer.
My laptop does have an available motherboard printer port.
A PCMCIA slot is equivalant to an ISA slot.

Yes I realise it's equivalent to ISA slot, but these days finding a legacy port with 100% functionality is pretty rare. Is this a programming problem or a hardware problem?

I am a retired custom chip designer. I have several chip programing adapters that use the parallel port. Newer USB programming adapters cost too much for my budget.
There are other applications where the PP was used as an external interface for devices other than printers.
I may be able to do this through the Window print spooler but it more complex that using the direct ISA PP.
For new projects I use the FDTI USB serial port adapters. That is a much cleaner solution.
It is possible to make a PCI board that looks like the original ISA PP board. I have done that many years ago. But is also an expensive solution. But that solution will not work with a PCIe slot.
I have been programming PCs since 1984. We found the PC was a better soltion than a MAC for making custom test equipment and process control systems. Now neither a normal PC or MAC is a good solution to this problem.
My last job before retiring was designing PCI interfaces for medical electronics.
