Subject: Disabling Parallel Port by shorting pins?

I want to disable the parallel port by making the computer think that it's
sending data.  I think that if you short two (or more) pins, then the
data-sent signal (or whatever it is) is always triggered, making the 
computer think that the byte it just sent was received, and it can send
the next one.  

Can anyone help me?
