Our lists tell: "unsupported". But there are no details. Nobody seems
to have tried to find out more or write a backend.

I guess snooping the parport on WIndows is more complicated than USB
or SCSI. But basically, that's the way to if you can't get
documentation from the manufacturer.

Some hints on how to write a backend are on our website (contributing
section).
