I do know how to read as well as write from the "extended" parallel ports. I also know how to read documentation. The new HP Printers do not run HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language), ASCII, or any "known" protocol Instead, they run a Windows-Specific Protocol which is proprietary to Microsoft.
If you, or others, have "busted their secret codes", it makes no difference. You will not be able to use this hard-won knowledge except for your personal entertainment.
I will not comment on this subject further.
