Perhaps you've been skipping the recent thread where we've been
beating this topic to death?

Macs have never had parallel printer ports, not even the new Intel Mac
Pros.  PC-type laptops made in the past two years aren't coming with
parallel ports, and rack-mount x86 hardware made in the past, what, 5?
years haven't come with them.

So far, most PC desktops still come with a DB25 parallel port, but I
think even that's no longer universal.
