Hi,
I didn't yet test the tu-chemnitz USB2LPT solution. But according to reports it does proper LPT port register virtualization and thus should work. The driver software is still maintained and supports Windows 11. Problem is however that MAX+plus II and also Quartus ByteBlaster don't have 64-Bit kernel drivers. You need to run a 32-Bit OS to use MAX+plus II or Quartus with ByteBlaster. According to above posted link, this can be also a virtual machine on VirtualBox.
