Autoguiding Requirements - What Do I Need!!??

Hi All,
I'm looking to get into the autoguiding thing with my EQ5 SynScan(V3.10) GoTo mount.

I hope to be using a Lumicon Easy Guider, Toucam ProII 840k, PHD on a recent model Toshiba laptop (USB 2.0 and 1 Parallel port).

Will I need anything else (apart from cables) to get started?

I have 1 cable that came with the mount which fits the autoguider port - it has a parallel port connection at the other end. Any good?
I think it is used to update firmware on the hand controller.
Is a GPUSB guide port interface adapter necessary?
Cheers
Doug
