I've used old printers using several Parallel-to-USB cables. HP made a
special Parallel-to-USB adapter cable called "HP Printer Cable Kit for
iMac™ P/N C4033-60003" which came with OS 9 drivers which to my
knowledge is the only such cable that works in OS 9. You can actually
use almost any generic Parallel-to-USB cable in OS X, the Belkin is
probably a little more than some of the other options. eBay has some
generic for the unbelievable low price of 90¢ shipped?:

Almost all of these cables use the Prolific Logic PL-2303, which has
OS X drivers available for older OS X, and doesn't need drivers for
newer OS X.
