#118809 - You could try this?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I agree with J. Guy and Jan Waclawek that the chances of a standard "USB-to-LPT" adaptor working are quite slim.

But you might like to look at something like this:

Quatech said:
Quatech’s SPP-100 fully supports the IEEE 1284 EPP standard, and functions exactly like a computer’s native parallel port. Thus, unlike the many USB to parallel converters on the market, Quatech’s SPP-100 will work seamlessly with any hardware or software that requires either an EPP or standard parallel port ... Many customers have come to us for the SPP-100 for use in laptops without parallel ports where they require a parallel port for a hardware dongle

If it really does work with Dongles, there must be a fair chnace that it'd work for programming.

Disclaimer:
This is all just quoted straight off the page - I haven't tried one myself. So you need to satisfy yourself that it'll meet your particular needs before parting with any money...
