    I'm afraid so. There isn't an IEEE1284 protocol for connecting two
    computers ("hosts"), only for connecting a host to a peripheral (such
    as a printer). The host's view of the cable is quite different from
    the peripheral's. It is asymmetric: they have different numbers of
    signals that they can control.

    One example of a protocol designed for host<->host parallel port
    communication is PLIP. Take a look at that.

    Tim.
