I dont have the reference in front of me but it might just be worth checking
the article archive for the Elektor magazine.....I have a vague feeing I
might have seen something there. Many of their past projects have used the
LPT as a programmable port. There should be an article index on their web
site I think.

Subject: [time-nuts] OT - USB to LPT Adapter - Does it exist?
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
