Like COM: ports, I think LPT: ports are considered something of a legacy these days.
So, why do you specifically want to use an LPT: port? Doing anything beyond just straightforward printing with an LPT: port has always been a bit of a bodge - and Windows certainly makes it no easier. Have you considered using a USB adaptor device, as from the likes of FTDI, Silicon Labs, et al? These can provide Async (UART), parallel, SPI, and probably other connections to your microcontroller, and come with ready-made drivers for the PC (you might not need any specific drivers at all if you just use them as a "virtual" COM: port) |
