in reply to use Perl With usblp Parallel Adapter
Chances are that it won't work.
I think Device::ParallelPort needs an actual, physical parallel port to work, that is to give you low level access to its bits.
A USB parallel port emulator just pretends to be a parallel port, but in reality it isn't one.

Not necessarily. I've got a usb->serial cable here that identifies as /dev/ttyUSB0 and that works fine with Device::SerialPort. I'm assuming this is more of a driver issue than anything else. On the other hand, I'm fairly ignorant about hardware...
