[Gambas-user] direct printer port access

[Peter Moers]

To get around my parallel port problem I learned a bit of C and made a
program that runs from command line and sets the pins like I want
them. Now I want to do:
SHELL "lptio 'write " & value & '""
But that doesn't work since I have to be root to access te port. So
the next thing I tried was:
SHELL "sudo lptio 'write " & value & '""
but ofcourse I can't give the password :) or can I?
