You are also going to run into port timing issues, since OS X 
doesn't support parallel ports. There was at least one attempt 
to flange up a || port driver some years back but I think that 
came to nothing. A Google search should bring that one up pretty quickly.

Using a USB to || converter to get around the hardware issue is 
also not a good idea (port timing/kernel issues).

Try doing a search in the emc2 list archive to dig up replies to 
a similar query of mine about a year or so ago. This will give 
you more authoritative answers than mine!

Cheers,
Alex.
