if he's running Windows he will, windows likes to protect the printer port becuase of stability issues involved with it... you have to write some libraries to get around this.
 

Only if you're running NT based Windows (NT, 2000, XP), the Win95 based ones (95, 98, ME) don't require drivers to access the ports - you can simply 'bit bang' the ports regardless.
 
Try my Animated stepper controller.

And turn off the lights in the room.
