Default USB adapter?

is there such a thing as an adapter to change a usb plug to a parrell or serial connection?
For plugging a usb printer into an older box
or do I need a pci card to add usb ports?

Hm...i'm searching around for ya but I haven't been able to come up with anything. The only adapters that I have seen are connecting a parallel device to a usb port...not vice versa.

Guess we'll keep looking around.
