With the search phrase "+ECP +EPP", Evreka reports a link to
<URL:http://whatis.com/eppecp.htm> at the top of the list.  That document
contains a link to the IEEE 1284 FAQ by Warp Nine.  And like I said, I
posted the URLs to Warp Nine's ECP and EPP documents in another message.

I measured the power output of the ECP/EPP capable printer port in my PC
the other day.  Both pins 16 and 17 gave around 1.35 mW (measured with two
different resistances in the kilo-ohm range) when programmed to logic '1'.  
By tying these two outputs together with two low-dropout diodes, I got
2.6 mW, still too little to operate a 74LS74. But the corresponding CMOS
device 4013 (with a different pinout) should cope with less than one µW at
least when it is idle.
