Hi,
In all the messages you have sent, you have finally specified the
CRUCIAL piece of information:
You are trying to interface with a dallas 1820 temperature sensor. THIS
allows us to understand what you are up to. How could we possibly hawe
guessed from your question that you were trying to read anything more
than the state of a switch. For next time, I really suggest that you
take the time to specify precisely what you are doing. More people will
take the time to help you, and they will take less time doing so that
way.
It turns out that the dallas 1820 has a rather elaborate communication
protocol that is designed to make the wiring as simple as possible. The
result is that the software needed to support it is concequently much
more elaborate.
I would suggest the following references:
The datasheet : http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/arpdf/DS18S20.pdf
This page that claims to have linux code to do just what you want over
the serial port, I haven't checked more in detail than that :

From what I have gathered from a brief look at the DS1820, you would
actually need to use an output pin of your parallel port in addition to
the input pin you are currently using.
