Parallel Port Complete: Programming, Interfacing, & Using the PC's Parallel Printer Port
An excellent resource for Visual Basic programmers looking to interface hardware through standard ports. Anyone designing hardware to work with a parallel port is well advised to add this book to their library.  --Personal Engineering and Instrumentation News, Paul Schreier, May 1997If you need to do any development of parallel port devices or want to get a bit-level understanding of the port's inner workings, I strongly recommend Parallel Port Complete.  --Bill Machrone, PC Week, July 20, 1998If you want to learn about PC-based parallel ports, then you need a copy of Jan Axelson's Parallel Port Complete. Good stuff.  --Electronics Now, Jeff Holtzman, Aug. 1997It's been awhile since I've seen a book as practical as this one. Parallel Port Complete is a real keeper!  --Nuts & Volts, Joseph Carr, March 1997The book is written in a very readable style and starts off with the basics; you don't have to be a hardware guru to read it. If you think you might ever need to access a parallel port (under any operating system), this book is for you.  --Windows Developer's Journal, Feb. 1998
