That is a parallel programmer. AFAIK, Studio only supports USB or
serial programmers.

That said, googling for AVR SP12 programmer yielded this link:

There is also avrdude:

http://www.bsdhome.com/avrdude/
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude/

If you are running MS Windows, avrdude comes with WinAVR (GCC for the
AVR.)

If you would like to use Studio, I would strongly recommend sticking
with the current AVR Studio 4 rather than the older Studio 3.
