Your datasheet link doesn't work over here, but I found this one. For what I understand from the datasheet is that it already has a build-in controller, you just have to program software for it. It's pretty easy to connect it to the LPT port (See this for LPT pinout, see the datasheet for LCD pinout), but I cannot say if it works directly. Start writing software is easy in Visual Basic 6 and DLPortIO. There is some demonstration projects that comes with the DLPortIO package. Any other information could be find in this forum.

Well it's even easier; that VFD is a LCD drop-in replacement, hence it's HD44780 compatible and will work with most established character LCD apps like Smartie/JALcd/LCDinfo etc. You can use this popular/common wiring scheme. |

Yes, there are USB backpacks for HD44780 LCD/VFD's. However i can't say anything about compatability with character LCD apps, you should check that unless you plan to write your own software. |
