	Okay, outside my documentation range...

	Don't see anything on Google for Linux parallel port & sockets.

	Low-level access is covered at:
http://as6edriver.sourceforge.net/Parallel-Port-Programming-HOWTO/parallel-port-programming-howto.html

http://bigasterisk.com/projects/parallel mentions a Python wrapper to a
C program that uses low-level access to the port (and such access
needing root privileges)
