USB printer to Parallel port

I have a printer/scanner/copier that uses a USB port. My computer, though, doesn't have a USB port. Is there a cable that can connect a USB printer to a parallel-port computer? I know they make ones for parallel printers to USB ports.

You can buy a USB add in card pretty cheap.

Get a connector for the end of your USB cable to serial NOT parallel. By definition you should know that USB stands for universal serial bus...transferring serial data streams to parallel data streams is difficult and requires memory buffers and electronics and is my bet you wont be able to even get one if you tried!
