May be you can use an interface board like the mesa 5i20, the encoder readings and pwm generator can handle much more resolution than a parport system based.
Here is the web http://www.mesanet.com The 5i20 is a very cheap board i bought two and so far no problems... they work quite well. I hope i could help you. Regards.
