PCI-E to parallel, works out of the box, usually address is 0xd020, no complaints about "no parallel port found" from LinuxCNC 2.10.
Can be found only on HP desktop PC's, computer repair shops should have plenty, comes with the short bracket as pictured, price 10-15 Euro here.
Chip seems to be SUNIX SUN2212
It does support SPP, tristate and EPP

PCI to parallel, very old, bought online.
Works out of the box with LinuxCNC from 2.5 and above, several in use for over 10 years without issues.
Uses the MOSCHIP MCS9865 chip, comes with the short bracket.

PCI to parallel card with 2 of RS232 serial port headers.
Can be found on older HP desktops, hard to find as most have been thrown to trash, but do check local repair shops, they might still be on the shelves...
Works out of the box with LinuxCNC 2.7 and above, can do OUT and IN mode, did not test X mode yet.
Comes with the long bracket and another long bracket with two serial ports.

Regarding Lenovo ThinkCentres this is the low profile part number for a cable 45j9598
Prices can vary from USD $10 - $20, may seem on par or a little more than a physical card, but way way easier to setup. Beware a std 2x13 to db25 cable will not work as there is the cable would seem to short a pin or some other such trickery that I just haven't looked at. what happens is that the Super IO chip, lacking a better description, is informed there is a cable attached and then enables the Parallel Port setup in the BIOS.
Below is a link to an example.

If you have a ThinkStation and want a simple solution and don't want to have a Black Mass under a full moon, unless of course you're Norwegian and you have a bent for a particular genre of Music, this is the way to go. If you are one of the above mentioned, you still can have your Black Mass and use the cable.

Keep this one, it has pictures and less "techno babble".
