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.
