You need to find the pinouts of the parallel port and then just
connect a led from a data line to a ground line. There are three
differant types of lines in your p-port. The first and most important
is DATA (out), the second is STATUS (in) and the third is CONTROL
(i/o). You can find a lot more info searching for Parallel ports and
the net.
