Hi
I think Chuck is right. I didn't see anythig in the spec sheet about
it being a host controller, only about being an end receiver.

It might not take too much to build up something
to do that using an
FTDI FT245R - USB FIFO IC.

It has a write strobe input and a FIFO full output, which might need
some simple logic to handshake with a standard LPT output. But you
wouldn't have to write any firmware for the USB microcontroller.
Um, I'm confused. The FT245R is a slave device. Would it not
require a host controller to interface to a USB printer? The FT245
ISTR always looks like a communications device.
You might rig something up an FTDI Vinculum, however.
