We already have the driver, for serial anyway. The blazer uses the bns driver. It sounds from what you said like it wouldn't be straight forward to open the parallel port instead of the serial port, and just start writing to it. I thought actually that using the parallel port is more straight forward, since there are no parameters like baudrate, stopbits, parity, and handshaking to set. Am I totally off here?
