[Dx4win] USB to parallel port connector

 > Will USB to parallel port adapter work???

To the best of my knowledge *none* of the logging programs support
CW/PTT on a USB to *parallel port adapter*.  The USB printer cables
typically use a special device driver to emulate a windows print
system and do not provide direct port access required by the LPT
CW/PTT drivers in the logging programs.

You can use a USB to *serial* cable with CW on DTR and PTT on RTS
driving a pair of resistor/transistor circuits - but that is quite
different than the USB to parallel printer cables and using LPT#.
