are you inventing a plotter/printer?

actually the problem is more complex than you can expect. with parallel
ports you may send bytes to those motors. but motors don't work with bytes,
they work with particular voltage and current. usually speed is voltage
dependant but your curve does not represent speed/voltage, it represents
coordinates. so you need to convert coords to speed/voltage and then make
your motors driven by bytes being sent via parallel ports.

good luck
