I took a look at the back of all my ia64 systems - none of them
have a parallel port.  It seems unlikely that new systems will
start adding parallel ports :-)

So even if I had a printer (or other device) that used a parallel
port, I have no way to test it.
If it has PCI slots, it can have a parallel port.
