Just found something on Astromart which mentioned this outfit:
http://www.quatech.com/catalog/parallel_pcmcia.php
Its a PCMCIA type device.
"Quatech’s SPP-100 fully supports the IEEE 1284 EPP standard, and functions exactly like a computer’s native parallel port. Thus, unlike the many USB to parallel converters on the market, Quatech’s SPP-100 will work seamlessly with any hardware or software that requires either an EPP or standard parallel port. It is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems.
Many portable and hand-held computers do not provide a parallel port. When they do, the built-in port often cannot function in EPP mode. Quatech’s SPP-100 is an ideal choice in these situations when a high speed parallel interface is required."
