RE: [QUESTION] Howto access parallel port

Hello!

(Repost just in the case you have problems with my signature. Might be a
problem created by the mailing list.)

Accessing the ports is easy. I did it with serial ports (build in and
usb)
under Linux and Windows.

See the following links about how to du it.

Subject: [QUESTION] Howto access parallel port

java writers,

I am a java newbie.

How can one access the parallel port of a java laptop?
How can one access /dev/parport0?
How is hardware represented in java?
  By standard classes?
    Which ones?
  By gateway to an executable(?) underlying the JVM?
    What is the protocol/class/...?
Can you (dis)recommend books/urls/... for learning hardware access with
java?

My goal is to add a graphical user interface to some
  existing command-line c++ diagnostic software, or preferrably
port the diagnostic software to java.

TIA,
