Lalim Parallel Port Control(Ver 3.6.0)
Lalim Parallel Port
Control can control hardware through the parallel port (printer
port) and can also control a remote PC parallel port through a
network.
Most of engineering industry using PC to control hardware with using additional I/O card but with Lalim Parallel Port Control you can use your default printer port controlling external device such as switching on/off light or control electronic devices. What does this program [does is] trigger the parallel port (Printer port) 's data pin by your command. For example when you trigger pin2 , your printer port's pin2 becomes +5 volt . With this +5 volt , you can built your own electronic circuit to drive other external device. You can also built a simple circuit to test it by connect a LED with 1 kohm resistor direct to it pin.

Control requires a certain knowledge of electronics and if you are
not comfortable with a soldering iron, or don't know what a 1k
resistor is, then it is probably advisable that you do not attempt
to use this program.
If you are capable
working with DC electronics, Lalim Parallel Port Control allows you
to build remote-controlled, or timed, devices for your home or
office – turning on or off the air conditioner, adjusting lighting,
opening & closing windows, monitoring burglar alarms, and more.
Just download and run, no installation required.

To get the full effect of this it is helpful to have a small amount of electronics knowledge. You could do this simply by sticking the positive side of a LED into pins 2-9 on your parallel port and the negative side of the LED into pins 18-25 if you don’t have much electronics knowledge. However, below is the schematic for a simple array of LED. You could build this very easily if you know how to solder.

Warning:
When experimenting with any of the IBM PC I/O Ports , always use a 1k ohm 1/4 watt resister to buffer all of the signals on any of the parallel printer port connections. you can damage the parallel printer port of your IBM PC computer.
