It's certainly true that many applications that "talk" through a parallel port won't work when the parallel port is provided via USB.

There were, at one time, quite a number of complaints that MCU programmers interfaced via the serial port worked fine, but didn't work when a USB-generated serial port was used. Similar statements appeared regarding the USB-adapted parallel ports.


Here we go again.

This has all been done to death ad nauseam.

It's not the fault of USB! It's because the original stuff was just hacks & kludges and abuses of the interfaces - and they all happen to come unstuck when you try to apply them via USB.

They would all fail in the same ways via, say, ethernet-to-serial/parallel adaptors.

It's not the USB that's the problem!

Admittedly, the USB drivers (and other software) shipped with cheap consumer stuff are often of appallingly low quality
