if you upgrade to the free Visual Basic express 2010
Microsoft Visual Studio Express - Build cutting edge Windows applications

in the toolbox under components is has a SerialPort component to talk to serial ports. Worth looking to see if it has a component to talk to the parallel port

also have a look at

if you wish to control external devices using USB is simpler these days with microcontrollers with USB interfaces

unfortunately i don't have any experience with VB. But i have worked on parallel port in labview on Win7 32 bit edition its easy..
But when i was searching i found Inpout32.dll is the one dealing with this....
