Printer Connect Problem - Inspiron 531s

I have just gotten a Dell Inspiron 531s with VISTA. I also have an IBM-Lexmark laser printer which was connected to my old Dell Dimension (with Windows 98) via a serial port. Since this printer was built before the days of "USB" it only has a serial/parallel port adapter on it. I didn't realize until after my Inspiron arrived that it didn't have a serial port on it (it only has USB ports and a VGA port).

Is there any way, such as an adapter of some sort that will enable me to connect my laser printer (having only the serial/parallel port) to the Inspiron? Thanks.
