The quick answer is no. Most of those adapters are
USB connections. Typically USB is too slow for CNC
control. A real parallel port, is about 25 times faster
transfering real-time data than a USB. However there
is a PCexpress type parallel adapter that is reported
to work for some. Of course the laptop must have a
PCexpress port. USB or ethernet? No
