USB to Parallel Converter?

I know these exist, but I'm having a hard time finding one for use of a USB printer with a PC that only has a parallel port. Basically, parallel on one end and USB-B (squarish plug) on the other.

Any ideas?
 
If you can afford it, and are lucky enough to have the right kind of printer, consider getting a network printer server instead. They're not all that expensive...
 
This isn't actually for me. A co-worker of mine does stats for a local high school baseball team. The software is installed on an old laptop, but it does actually have a USB port. The problem is that the software is DOS. We've already tried to capture the port and redirect it, but Windows 98 is giving us fits.

How about this? Could I get a standard parallel-to-usb-b cable and a usb-a to usb-b adapter?
