I just recently got myself a HP 5334B universal counter and wanted to communicate with it using my PC. I don't have any GPIB hardware but I found GLExPIB (https://code.google.com/p/glexpib/source/checkout) that uses a standard parport. I hacked and modified the library slightly and wrote a simple interactive command line tool to communicate with the counter. It's a simple command line tool that has an interactive mode to send commands and receive measurements. It also includes a wiring diagram for the (passive) cable drawn by the author of GLExPIB.
I thought I might share this with you guys because I'm sure there are people on this list that have the same counter. (It might work with general GPIB equipment, but I have no way to test it).
