Hello guys !

Alright, let's go straight to the point from here.

I am having trouble figuring out how to control the parallel port and whether c++ can do the job ? My purpose is pretty simple, that is just to have the ability to switch on and off for 8 LEDs through a PC's Parallel port with a form of buttons of my own designed in microsoft windows XP.

I hope to get a thorough understanding of how many volt each tiny pin can produce or all about the parallel port.. Please guide me on where to start. And of course, the most importantly how to go about it. Thankyou
