If the app requires ioctl compatibility then no, serial is the closest you get. If the app just needs a data stream, then pair and use RFCOMM/serial port mode. If ioctl compat with a parallel port in the app is necessary you'll have to make a virtual parallel port driver that thunks to the actual wireless serial port. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><div class="h5"><div><br>On May 29, 2015, at 7:47 PM, Sergio Chaves <<a href="mailto:sergio.chaves@gmail.com" target="_blank">sergio.chaves@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">We have an application at work that uses Lpt1 as the default port - hard coded.
