The GUID_DEVINTERFACE_PARALLEL device interface class is defined for parallel ports that support an IEEE 1284-compatible hardware interface.

Attribute	Setting
Identifier	GUID_DEVINTERFACE_PARALLEL
Class GUID	{97F76EF0-F883-11D0-AF1F-0000F800845C}

Remarks

Drivers for parallel ports register instances of GUID_DEVINTERFACE_PARALLEL to notify the operating system and applications of the presence of parallel ports.

The system-supplied function driver for parallel ports registers an instance of this device class for a parallel port.

For information about parallel devices and drivers, see Introduction to Parallel Ports and Devices.

For information about the device interface class for devices that are attached to a parallel port, see GUID_DEVINTERFACE_PARCLASS.

GUID_PARALLEL_DEVICE is an obsolete identifier for this device interface class; for new instances of this class, use GUID_DEVINTERFACE_PARALLEL instead.

Requirements

Version	Available in Microsoft Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows.
Header	Ntddpar.h (include Ntddpar.h)
