VB.NET USB to Parallel programming

Before I was working on PC that had integrated Parallel port, but now I have laptop computer and I bought USB to Parallel port converter hoping that I can work on application that will communicate with Data pins of that Parallel port...

Can this converter be used as regular integrated parallel port?

I checked pins and all data out pins have signals all the time...

I tried with inpout32.dll scripts that I used for my PC ( that works 100% ) but it doesn't look to work on laptop...

Does programming has to be different when it uses converters like this?

Thanks!

From computer to computer, the IO address used for the Parallel port can vary. This page has a good explanation of how to find the port address for the computer. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20545/I-O-Ports-Programming-Parallel-port-Reading-Writin
