Hello, I have a similar question to you and others ...
I have almost the same problem, I have not LPT port on my motherboard, so I bought Axago PCIA-P1.
And I want to ask if you did prove to redirect the PORT address?
And seriously it worked on x64 system??
Thank you, Hrebík.

you didn't get me my friend!! even though if you find a PCI card for cheap that would not solve your problem coz it won't work!! try searching your mother board or go to device manager on ur PC to fing Ports and under that try and find LTP1 etc if you find that Ill tell you what do do next. Also tell me the motherboard model

many mother boards like mine don't physically bear a parallel port but have headers for parallel port on board itself so I am asking you to look for that

Just so you know, I've had to use a few LPT PCI cards before and some of them do work. I usually use the ones with Serial built in to them. Make sure when you are buying them that they support EPP function so this way the port can be "bit banged". Cheers
