This may not be any more helpful than the previous lack of response, but
I'll tell you what I know.

A daisy-wheel printer driver was just posted to comp.mac.binaries a few
days ago.  It should solve half of your problem.  For the other half, MicroSoft
used to sell an expansion chassis for the Mac that had parallel ports on
it.  They don't sell it any more, but could probably tell you who does
(it might be Assimilation).  Orange Micro just announced a Grappler for
the Mac.  I believe it's designed for Epsons, but maybe has a "generic"
mode that would just do a plain serial->parallel conversion.  Protecto
Enterprises at one point had serial->parallel converters.
