[Rxtx] [PARALLELPORT] read parallel port status

[Andre-John Mas]

Hi,

I have never had to deal with parallel ports myself, though there
are a couple of examples here:

http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Examples

If you look at the first example, which is for a serial port, as
a basis, then at the line where the the following test is done:

  commPort instanceof SerialPort

modify it to test to see if commPort is an instance of ParallelPort
and then cast it to ParallelPort. The API specification is here:

Hope this helps.

Andre
