[duxuser] Will a USB to Parallel cable work with a Versapoint Duo embosser?

Hi All,
This isn't strictly Duxbury related, but since I plan to use Duxbury to
prepare documents for embossing and actually use it to control the
versapoint, I hope list moderators will forgive me!
We have an old versapoint duo here at the school that only has Parallel or
Serial connection, no USB. Of course computers are all about USB these
days. Has anyone been in the same situation and successfully gotten a
Parallel (or Serial) to USB cable to run their old Versapoint Duo? It is a
model BP2B-01 and says Blaize Engineering (as opposed to Freedom Scientific)
on it.
I've read a lot of stories about those type of converter cables NOT working,
so if anyone has any advice or suggestions as to how to conquer this
particular beast, I'd love to hear it. Then I can use Duxbury to do some
actual interpoint embossing, which up until now I have been unable to do
with the "new" embosser we have.
TIA,
Nancy
