Hello, my main occupation is software engineer and we're currently in the beta test phase of a brand new software for foam cutting. You can see it here:

I'm looking now for a cheap solution for doing usb to parallel machine control.
Our software will support different controllers but i need also the good'n'old parallel port.
That's why i landed here!
