Hello David, As far as I know, the right commands to enable the parallel port are
$ VBoxManage setextradata <machine name> "VBoxInternal/Devices/parallel/0/LUN#0/Driver" "HostParallel" and $ VBoxManage setextradata <machine name> "VBoxInternal/Devices/parallel/0/LUN#0/Config/DevicePath" "/dev/parport0" where you can replace "/dev/parport0" with the device node of your parallel port. I don't know how high the chances are though that it will work, unless you are prepared to do some fixing yourself.
