If you're writing software for your own hardware, it might be a good idea
to develope your own kernel module for the job. That's the fastest, most
direct access to the parallel port. Take a look at the linux kernel module
guide for this and do a net search on something you: EPP programming. you
shouldn't have any trouble finding dozens of hits defining the EPP
standards and the registers involved.
