25pin to usb adaptor

[rk75]

I recently bought a used 'hp laserjet 1000' from ebay.
It only has a '25 pin parallel port' as input
My dell vostro 1510 only has 'usb' ports.
I was thinking of using a generic '25 pin to usb' adaptor cable. Will it work ?
If not, then what options do I have to be able to connect my laptop to the printer.

thanks,
rishabh
