Well, I never tried, but I think it will NOT work.

These USB-LPT-Bridges emulate somehow a Printer interface; where
LCD4Linux requires a lower level, the ability to change every single
line with a neat timing.

Therefore on a real parport, LCD4Linux does not use the lp interface,
but the ppdev interface. As you wrote above, your kernel driver provides
the lp interface only, but no ppdev.


bye, Michael
