Dualboot is fine, but then how would you map the non-existing physical parallell port to a virtual printer on the host PC if you simply dual boot? I've tried this in Qemu and it doesn't seem to support it, and so far dosemu is the only application I've come across that lets me seamlessly take all data collected on the virtual LPT1 and spit it out into any printer queue on host OS, aallowing the data to appear nicely on any networked printer anywhere. I found this thread http://macosx.forked.net/bbarchive/forum5/000113.html that is rather old an incomplete, but it's the only hint in the right direction so far..
