    I'm trying a simple EPP PPNEGOT between to PCs using a Laptop Link cable.

        open ("/dev/parport0", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY);
        ioctl (fd, PPCLAIM)

        int mode = IEEE1284_MODE_EPP;
        if (ioctl(fd, PPNEGOT, &mode) != 0) {
            perror("PPNEGOT");
            close(fd);
            return 1;
        }

    PPNEGOT: Input/output error

    I double checked, both PCs have EPP 1.9 enabled in the BIOS.

    I'm using

    http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/html/x916.html

    To mimic the printer's side of printer protocol.

    I am trying to use the parallel port as a control-interface to a piece of
    hardware and have no luck access the port on a pin by pin bases.
