Dear Joe,
Be aware, the parallel printer ports are not a substitute for the LPT port!
My experience is that only two things work:
1. A PCI card in your PC to add a LPT port (cost around 15 Euro)
2. Homebrew LPT ports. If my memory serves me well there was a design in
the June or July/August issue of Elektor.
For using the LPT for programming one usually needs the port to be
bi-directional, something which is not supported on the, so called,
USB-to-parallel-printer-port adapters.
Good luck, Jeroen

Not sure where to ask this question but thought I would start here.
Is there a way to connect a parallel port to a computer via USB? Not a
device that shows up as 'USB Print Support' but, instead, shows up in Device
Manager as an LPT port? I have been able to do it via PCMCIA to Parallel
Port adapters but I have never found a USB device that would do this.
My goal is to connect a parallel port chip programmer via USB but the
software only looks for LPT ports. It works with PCMCIA to parallel port
adapters but I haven't solved the puzzle yet with a USB connected device.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
