I don't think I have ever heard of a USB --> Parallel adapter (sorry for the bad news). Do you have the ability to pencil in some USB blasters into your budget since you'll be able to connect them directly?

I have seen some USB to parallel port adapters. I wonder if one of these would work?

I have a USB hub with parallel port, but I have only ever got it to work with a printer. I suspect that the problem is that most widgets, such as a Byteblaster, access the port diectly and so cannot be automatically re-directed throught the USB interface to a remote port. Windows can however re-direct printing to a specially written driver provided by the USB hub manufaturer.
