I did a quick google search on "printer port" and the very first link it
came up with is certainly worth checking out, http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ih/doc/par/



The rest looked quite usefull too...

Greetings,
    
 
    
Does anyone have experience alarming
a printer to    buzz or flash a light when a job prints at a remote printer? 
Can I    simply tap the printer busy pin on the parallel port to switch a
small    relay?
