    How to get correct value from parallel port

    Dear All,
    i have one program which can get the input of parallel port and display the value on window.
    Code:
    void CProjDlg::OnCalculte() 
    {
    	
    
    	unsigned StatusAddress=0x378;
                    int StatusPort;
                   StatusPort=_inp(StatusAddress);
                    m_value=StatusPort;
                   UpdateData(0);
    
    }
    But StatusAddress (0x378) default value is 4 (100), so pin 3 always shows "1" even i connect it to ground, how can solve it?
    Thank you.

    Pin 3 is a writeonly datapin.
    If you want to read use
    pin 1 hw inverted, i/o
    pin 10
    pin 11 hw inverted
    pin 12
    pin 13
    pin 14 hw inverted, i/o
    pin 31 i/o
    pin 32
    pin 36 i/o
