I'll give you a hint...
If you want somebody to do your project for you, start offering cash. If you want help LEARNING how to do your project, ask nicely, and only when you have no where else to turn.
If you want to learn Visual C++, get the book Teach Yourself Visual C++ in 21 Days. I'm sure there's a C# version too, but for something that interfaces with the parallel port, plain old C/C++ is your best bet. (Personally, I use the free Dev-C++ environment.)
If you want to control the parallel port in Windows 95/98/Me, download the Windows 98 SDK and read the API documents. If you're looking for Windows 2000/XP support too, get the Windows 95/NT Port I/O Driver from DriverLinx. It includes API documents and Visual C++, Delphi, and VB example code.
If you want to know how to hook up an LCD and what commands it accepts, do a search on Google for the HD44780, which is the chip used to control the LCDs. One of the first links is this, How to control a HD44780-based Character-LCD, which has basically everything you'll ever need.
Those are the three parts to your project, and all of the information you could possibly need. Read until your eyes bleed, code until your fingers bleed, and wrack your brains over the inevitable bugs you will run into until your ears bleed. THEN you can ask for help getting past a stumbling block.
But please, don't expect somebody to do an entire project (even a relatively simple one) for free. That's asking a lot.
