The sad part of the story is that mainboards with less than 5 years (maybe more) do not have a parallel port anymore. The good thing is that the price of a parallel port board costs < $25, so it's affordable and feasible.
Thanks for the information!

I still come across boards with LPT headers, just no built in D-sub ports... but yeah, LPT boards can be had super cheap
