What I need to know is if all the control signals can
be controlled from
a program (not sure if it will be a kernel device driver or a user
driver).
If so, I have better control over the reader, if not, it may make the
interface
a bit more complicated.
BTW, the program will most likely use the parallel port in EPP mode, not
in ECP mode.
Of course you can. I don't have a recommendation but I looked into the
results of a google search with the term "parallel port programming linux"
and it had some promising links. Perhaps there is a good starting point.
