parallel port proramming for sun ultra ?

[fishman2001]

Hi I'm trying to look for information about reading/writing to the parallel port of a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. I'd just like to see some basic programs written in C, nothing fancy, just reading and wrting to the port, getting the port address etc. toggling the lines.
I've tried searching for this information and there is plenty of information about PC parallel port programming with windows or Linux. But there seems to be little for Sun's.

Thanks if you can help.

I would think that you would want to look at CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) and LPR source code. It should give you an idea of how to program for the parallel port.
