How to connect a board with parallel port to GPIB network?

I have a board which I need to control some signals on it with Labview. What is the best solution? Now I am using some jumpers on it to make different modes but then I want to automate all the process so I want to somehow "control" these jumpers from PC in the Labview environment.

Can you provide any more information about your board?
You mention parallel and GPIB. Does your board have both? Do you have a GPIB card also?

My best guess for a simple solution is to use a board like the PCI 6503 24 line digital I/O card. That is assuming that the jumpers can be replaced by TTL signals this would probably be your best bet.
