None of those ports are rated to deliver any power to external
devices.  Go buy a cheap external wall plug type power supply.

How about the parallel port?

No.  As I said, none of the ports are designed/spec'ed/supported
as power supplies.  Power supplies are cheap if you get the wall
plug type, I strongly recommend buying one.
