to make soft interrupt with AX registers in linux?

Hi.

I'd like to know to send to printer port, I did like this on DOS...
I used to use int86 () function to make soft interrupt...

I'd like to know how to make soft interrupt with AX registers in linux?

But this kind of using is it possible in linux ?


sendcharToPrinter ( char ch )
{
union REGS printer;

printer.h.ah = 0;
printer.h.al = ch;
printer.x.dx = 0x378
int86( 0x17, &printer, &printer );
}

Thanks..
