Does anyone know of such a software tool that
can monitor and help to analyze the communication
through a parallel port? I am interested in what are
sent to and received from the port on byte level and
line state changes.

What OS? The parallel port itself does not offer any debugging
support. What you want has to go trhough the driver.

Professional because of a couple of constrains. I may partly
work on Linux if there is some really good support available.
I searched the web and found PortMon
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Portmon.html
simply does not work on Win2K Pro, and ParMon
http://www.geekhideout.com/parmon.shtml
only has limited functions.
Any advice is appreciated.

For Linux the best IMO would be to hack the PP driver
to conform to you rneeds. Of course that is nearly impossible
to do for Windows.
There is also the option to monitor the signal lines themselves, e.g.
with an I/O card and a second PC. Depends on what you want to do.
