Teri,
I don't remember the model number, but if you go to www.newegg.com you'll
find it by searching for parallel/usb converters. You'll find a few, but
the one you want costs about $15. It comes with the necessary drivers,
but you won't need them unless you're running Windows 98 or earlier. For
XP, you just plug in the cable and you're good to go.

Don,
I got one for half that price at Newegg.com, and it worked great. They
had them even cheaper, but I didn't want to gamble.

Check out Wal-Mart they have a USB-Parallel adapter. I got one for a
old printer i was using and it worked fine. It cost around $30.00
