Hi
It is really quite simple to use the bi-directional
printer port if your machine supports it. This is
what I did with an old Intel one I have ( I think
it was made by REMEX ). It is just wires and some
simple software.

I've designed a very simple Remex paper tape reader
"parallel" interface to serial board utilizing a
PIC/Ubicom and a MAX-232 chip. Someone else on this
has one but I forget who, so:
