This Python extension exposes -"inp()" and "outp()" that can be used to manipulate the printer -IOs directly.

Because of that -a kernel driver is needed. The sources to GIVEIO.SYS are in -the respective directory.

To make this work, the giveio driver must be installed. -this can be done with the loaddrv tool.
