28. Appendix C. Supported Parallel Port devices
More and more, the parallel port is used to connect other devices than printers. To support this parallel port drivers are written for the devicesto work. This appendix presents devices for which parallel port support is written.
To be clear: printers are not presented in this appendix as they are not supported by parallel port support projects.
