Each parallel port has it's own address that you scan, so the presence of any other parallel port is irrelevant. You use the address needed for the port you are scanning. There are some good articles here on Code Project about parallel ports. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

Thanx for the reply Christian. Could that be done with MFC as well or just Win32 Applications.

MFC is just a fat old library on top of Win32. Hell, C# is just a fat old library on top of Win32. I actually do what I've described in C# by calling the underlying libaries in the DLL's. You can do anything Win32 supports in MFC. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder
