You could have a look at lcd4linux, we do not only drive LCD Displays,
but also so called "GPO's" (general purpose output), and we drive'm with
direct parallel port programming.

I've got a little thing here, which acts as an interface to a LCD and 8
LED's. Maybe that's what you're looking for.

bye, Michael
