Not clear. What's especially not clear is: how it can be a problem is you say "I wrote...". You already did, so... what's up?

There is an article here that covers all of the basics of using the parallel port, including hardware connections. For code, it uses C#, but since that calls inpout32.dll, that shouldn't be a problem for you.
