LPT1

Parallel port configuration object.
Syntax

LPT1.type = "lpt-device"
LPT1.port = "lpt-port"
LPT1.mode = "lpt-mode"

Description to a telnet 

The LPT1 object configures the virtual parallel port, it is always present and therefore does not have a load statement.

It is possible to connect the virtual parallel port to either a network port or physical parallel port attached to the host by specifying telnet or device for lpt-device, respectively.  If connecting a telnet port, lpt-port can be set to an unused TCP/IP port number.  This port number must be prefixed with a colon.  For a physical device, specify the parallel port using the syntax, "\.\\LPTn", where n is the controller number.

To control the access mode of the physical parallel port, set the value lpt-mode to either EPP or ECP.

There are some limitations to the parallel port interface and it is intended for non-bidirectional printing.
