Ok, I see what you are trying to do, but I cannot see the benefit of it.
Why don't you just build an image from the data you get on your parallel
port and display it once it is complete? Or if that would take too long,
why not display a partial image every time you have built a new row of
your image, with the not-yet-transmitted lines displayed in
black/white/whatever?
