Careful...this is not a PC parallel port. At the moment, there is no software to talk to anything like a Mesa 7143 via an emulated EPP port via the BeagleBone. That doesn't mean I wouldn't _like_ to see something like this. I actually have plans to do this at some point, but it will almost certainly require a different pinout and a different circuit board.
The step/dir GPIO pins can be pretty much randomly assigned to any free pin, but implementing an emulated EPP interafce to talk to smart hardware requires a bit more planning.
