There probably isn't much mass market consumer demand.  What you are 
more likely to find is chip level solutions.  It's probably worth having 
a look at some of the Elektor magazine projects, as I think they often 
use pre-programmed microcontrollers to get discrete digital outputs from 
a USB connection.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were code on the web for making a USB 
capable PIC implement the standard USB emulation of a parallel printer port.
