VirtualBox has had parallel port support for a while, but it is not visible
in the UI.
You need to use the VBoxManage to configure it.
See section 8.8.1 of the manual, --lptmode and --lpt options.
Version 4.2.0 apparently has "Added support for parallel port passthrough
on Windows hosts", according to the change log.
