The big one is that PC parallel ports are bi-directional but you have to
explicitly turn off the line drivers to make them inputs. Without some prior
knowledge of when you need to do this, it's hard to pretend to be a
peripheral.
If your protocol works only in nibble mode then it would be a lot easier and
probably the only limitation there would be the speed at which you can sample
and update the port.
