Hi ... I want to read the status register of the lpt port in NIBBLE mode. I want to do this wether there is a printer connected or not. What would be the best way to accomplish this ?? Should I use the ppi0 device with the PPIGSTATUS ioctl call, because if there is no printer connected I can't open the printer port. Or is there another device on the ppbus that I should rather use.
