For simulation, you could connect a few switches to the parport with appropriate pull-up resistors. You've probably got an old printer cable lying around that you could cut up and trace out (with an Ohmmeter) a few pins for ground, +5 and some inputs. While you're at it, you could also hang some LEDs on your test jig to let you know that "X" has happened (via an "M" code) and when to press a button, etc. Such a jig could be ugly and simple or as elaborate as you wish.
