hi,
as far as i remember you can use hyperterminal if the computers are windows.
i can recommend you a site about parallel port programming basics.
https://www.beyondlogic.org/
if you check this site, there is good guides on parallel port programming.
you can use sample codes on this site for to make your own program for file transfer
 

mscomm is for serial ports.

Do you just want to transfer files manually or is this part of a bigger project?

You could obtain a copy of laplink and a laplink cable.

Personally I'd buy a couple of network cards and a crossover cable rarther than mess about with parallel ports.
