This file is a driver that allows applications to use the printer port to control hardware. The source code for the driver is available ( www.logix4u.net ), so someone could add a virus if they wished. However, this file is frequently used by hobby people that build custom hardware that connects to the printer port.

Driver for the Parallel Port installed by the Dll Inpout32 (logix4u.net). The function "inst", implemented in the Inpout32 Dll, extract 'hwinterface.sys' from binary resource to 'systemroot\drivers' directory and creates a service. This function is called when 'Opendriver' function fails to open a valid handle to 'hwinterface' service.
