[Libusb-win32-devel] USB to LPT

[Mauricio H. <mhe...@te...>]

Hi to all:

My name is Mauricio and I new on the list, I write you from Chili.

I have a very basic question so be patience with me please.

I develop a domotic system for people with mobility problems 
(wheelchair, etc) (you can see more about the system in 
http://www.domosoft.cl in the "Galeria Multimedios" section). This 
system use some circuit conected to the PC in the LPT port, so to 
control the circuit my software use the "inpout32.dll" librarie, with 
this librarie I can write and read directly to the memory position of 
the LPT (data, status and control bytes)...and now this is my problem. 
Modern computer don't have LPT anymore and a quick way to conect my 
circuit is with a USB to LPT adapter, but with this kind of adapter the 
system have a "virtual lpt port", and I can't write directly in any 
memory position (this is correct right??). So, I want to build some kind 
of "driver/library" to write in some kind of "usb memory" or access to 
the "virtual LPT port" usb adapter and write the numbers for the LPT. If 
this posible with libusb-win32??, and also my adapter is recognized on 
linux and work with my printer, so is this posible for the linux version 
of libusb??

Thanks and sorry for the long explanation... :-)
