I'm not exactly sure what this means and the google translator was of little help...

Are you saying you have no parrallel ports to hook up to ? ?

They do sell adapters but without more info i would just be guessing.

I still need more info on what you are trying to accomplish to prevent guesswork...

    The small port is most likely a serial port. Some older printers had both types. You can probably use a serial cable for the printer (reconfiguring the print output to go the appropriate serial port) and the parallel port for the fax.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
