I want to buy a compact card reader for parallel port. I already have a printer and a scanner hooked up to LP port, Can I also connect the compact card reader to the same port, with pass through port. From computer to card reader then scanner and finally printer with out any problems Thanks

Yes, you can. The card reader I purchased - SanDisk - came with a pass-through. I have my card reader, data switch box, two printers and scanner all hooked up successfully to my parallel port. Confusing but it works!! Good luck..........

I have used the SanDisk with some peripheral devices, and had conflicts with HP's external CD rewriter, which also operates from the parallel port. I would check Sandisk's website and see if they list any conflicts with devices you plan to use.
