Parallel Port to USB controller and outb()

Hi guys,

From what I've tried and read I can't use outb() or inb() to control a parallel port (which connects via usb).

Any body know how to control a parallel port for systems without a physical parallel port connector (and hence have to buy and use a parallel port to usb converter).

Thx in advance.

In what way do you want to control the port? Is the port already registered and usable via the kernel and devfs?
