My guess is no? because how is this any different that the common printer adapters. I use a usb parallel port adapter cable for my old laser printer. It does the same function as this unit.

 

I have one and can confirm it doesn't work properly

 

Most of the products that provide parallel over USB are just not going to work properly for a stepper controller. The problem is that USB is not intended to handle the demands of real time data transfer. It is fast for sure, but there isn't a gaurunteed delivery time slot for the data.

You need some kind of buffer in the adapter to gather the data. Then you process the data like a FIFO queue. That is what printers and the smoothstepper do. The lack of an on board buffer is why none of the inexpensive adapters will work.
