We would like to install Windows XP 32 bit as a guest operating system in a Windows 10 64 bit host operating system. With the QEMU emulator will be the pcmcia slot available ?
We would like to use an epp parallel port in the guest operating system by means of Quatech pcmcia card installed in the slot.

No, however CardBus PCMCIA cards are essentially PCI devices so you
could add emulation of a PCI parallel port device.  Note that QEMU does
_not_ come with such a device, only with an ISA parallel port device.
It should not be hard to write one if it follows the same I/O port
structure as the ISA parallel port at 0x378/0x278.
