EPP programing

[Thomas Diehl]

Hello,
i have a parallel autoswitch attached to my printer port(lpt1).
On that autoswitch are 4 printers. Now i need to change the
active printer.
Is that possible by direct programing the EPP Bios calls?

thanks for any help - Thomas

Auto-switches that support software switching generally respond to a specific (and naturally unique) sequence of codes arriving through the normal data channel.

However, such codes are generally proprietary (ie, there is no "standard" sequence of codes for parallel port switches that I am aware of) so you'll need to review the documentation for the switch (or ask the manufacturer) to determine what is necessary to make it operate via software.
