How to access parallel port from user mode program on Win2K/XP?

I would write an utility to access the parallel port.
Do I need to write a kernel driver to reserve the
parallel port? or the system supplied parallel port
driver proivdes the way for the user mode program to
access the parallel port?

If I need a kernel driver, please tell me how to do
it in the driver implement.

I have no idea about parallel port programming. Can
anybody help me?

Best Regards

Thanks, but I want to know the implement detail
in the kernel driver.
