I just checked, and PCI-e parallel port cards exist:


Despite the fact that it is a long 16x sot, the short 1x cards ought to work:

A large proportion of LinuxCNC users do not use the parallel port, so that might explain why the board had good latency numbers but no mention of the lack of p-port.

Incidentally, instead of the Parallel port card, you could consider a Mesa card, though those are quite a lot more expensive.

This is the LPC internal port: imgur.com/jjJ7OOq

Explain me please how I can post a picture...

Not what I was expecting, it only has 13 pins

In theory you should be able to connect to that to create a parallel port:

But in practice I am not sure that you can.

I think it will be simpler to use the PCI-e connector.

According to other ASRock docs, it is a debug header

Whilst you can theoretically use as a limited printer port, they may have already assigned to something else

The docs for your board do not say anything about a parport, they usually have a 26 pin header

you can't use a lpc port as a printer port , at least not in the context of linuxcnc , in fact iv'e never seen a printer adapter that fit's
most use them for audio only or specific use cards .
