Printer port control?

[mechy]

Can someone tell me, can you turn off or on the printer port lines in amiga basic,
or some other programming language easily?

I have an idea for a simple home automation project, I just need to be able to turn the lines of the printer port low or high.

I know how to do this on a pc, but I never tried it on an amiga.

Any help or doc files would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

Might check here http://aminet.net/package/misc/misc/3DHome

There were some cool packages out there to control x-10 stuff, like EZHOME, if you can find it. maybe these have some insight on how they did it. article here thats interesting:
