OK, but this is for connection to step/direction drives? I have a set of boards for driving motion control systems that use either step/dir, PWM or analog velocity servos. These all use the parallel port as a communications channel to the contoller board by IEEE-1284 protocol. Most likely it would also work, but I don't want to declare that until I've tried it.
