You might have trouble with the driver, but there are USB to Parrallel port devices.
Also you need to be careful about the kind of parallel port your printer has, you might have to buy an additional adapter that will plug between the USB adapter and your printer's parallel port.
here are a bunch of adapter sold at amazon.com

The above adapters should in theory work on any computer that has a USB port, but remember your printer drivers will be going through another level of drivers that are emulating a actual physical device on a USB port so the more exotic functions and capabilities might not work correctly or give strange results as Mr. Schroeck's programming problem appear to be related to.
You would be better off adding a "real" parallel port to your computer if possible, below is a list of cards for desktop computers that take a little more technical skill to make functional, but are more likely to let your printer work with a computer assuming it's a desktop with room for the expansion.
