FYI....
I didn't find the adapter for LPT on the PIEXX site, but I
did see one for RS232. A search found this:
http://www.emtcompany.com/usb-to-db25-female-parallel-converter-adapter-c
able/1000207.html
which *may* work. There's an email contact on the page if you want
more info from EMTC. They are located in California.
